Abstract:
The case of a patient with left renal cell carcinoma with two small metastatic lesions in the mesenterium and retroperitoneal fatty tissue is reported. These metastatic lesions were incidentally detected by preoperative routine angiographic examinations. The patient underwent left radical nephrectomy and resection of the metastatic nodules. The usefulness of angiography for detecting metastatic lesions and the possible metastatic pathways of these uncommon lesions are discussed.
