Abstract:
A metastatic deposit from renal cell carcinoma into the jejunal wall is a rare phenomenon. Among the frequent modes of presentation, bleeding, obstruction and unexplained anaemia are commonly seen. In addition to the conventional contrast studies and computerized tomography (CT), Capsule endoscopy is a useful diagnostic tool. Factors responsible for resistant behaviour of jejunal wall are still not clear, however when it happens it is really a diagnostic challenge. We are reporting this rare case of solitary jejunal metastasis from renal cell carcinoma.

Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...
