ABSTRACT
Small intestinal metastasis from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has only rarely been described. We report two patients who developed small bowel metastases from RCC showing different clinicopathological characteristics. Both patients underwent hemilateral nephrectomy for RCC and developed lung metastases metachronously or simultaneously. One patient developed occlusive ileus caused by multiple polypoid tumours composed of sarcomatoid tissue in the jejunum shortly after nephrectomy. The other patient presented melaena due to bleeding from a Borrmann 2-like tumour in the jejunum six years after nephrectomy. Clinically, his disease was slow-growing. Sarcomatoid histology and Borrmann 2-like tumour in this report are rare findings in metastatic tumour of RCC in the small bowel.
