Özet

Approximately 15% of renal cell carcinomas metastasize to the head and neck region. Here in, we report a rare case report of a patient who underwent nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) ten years ago and presented with metastatic renal cell carcinoma on her lower lip. A 65-year-old woman presented with a rapidly growing mass on the lower lip. Pathology report resulted in renal cell carcinoma metastasis. Although metastatic renal cell carcinoma to the head and neck is uncommon, metastasis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a rapidly growing vascular lesion in the head and neck area of patients with renal cell carcinoma.
