Abstract:
Based on a case of metastatic basal cell carcinoma of lung to primary renal cell carcinoma, the authors review the literature from the first report by Campbell in 1968, and emphasize the very particular role of renal carcinoma as "preferential host" of metastases from another primary carcinoma. The specificity serum prealbumin of renal carcinoma is questionable and its contribution as a neuroendocrine marker is suggested.
