Renal Clear Cell Carcinoma Acrometastasis. An Unusual Terminal Condition

[摘要] Hand metastasis represents between 0.007 and 0.2 % of all metastatic lesions [1, 2]. Renal cell carcinoma accounts for only 10–12 % [3, 4] of these infrequent lesions. Finger metastases are commonly misdiagnosed due to their low frequency and because they can resemble an infectious condition [5]. We report a case of renal clear cell carcinoma with distal phalangeal metastasis and review the related literature. This case highlights the need to consider acrometastasis in the differential diagnosis of digital lesions in patients with renal clear cell carcinoma.
