Renal cell carcinoma metastasis to the penis: A case report and literature review.

ABSTRACT

Metastasis to the penis from RCC or any other primary cancer site is unusual; when it does occur, it often involves multiple organs. A 75-year-old man presented with penile pain and swelling. Three months earlier, he had open radical nephrectomy with thrombectomy and was diagnosed with clear-cell RCC with tumor thrombosis in the IVC. The follow-up imaging indicated metastasis in the penis, prompting a total penectomy due to worsening pain. The excised mass displayed features consistent with metastatic RCC. This case underscores the need to consider rare metastatic sites, such as metastasis of RCC to the penis, in RCC patients.
