Metastatic lesions in the cerebellopontine angle are rare. We encountered one such metastatic lesion from clearcell renal carcinoma that had a striking clinical appearance, bleeding from the ear and multiple lower cranial nerves' involvement. While the overall prognosis in CNS metastasis from systemic malignancy is gloomy, useful palliation can be achieved in patients with solitary lesions.
Metastatic tumour to the tongue is extremely rare. We report a case of renal adenocarcinoma metastasis involving the right side of the base of the tongue with extension to the right vallecula in a 59-year-old man in which a piece of the metastatic lesion in the tongue was expectorated and was the first evidence of the primary tumour in the right kidney. Previously reported cases are reviewed.
A solitary metastasis to the nose from a renal cell carcinoma is extremely rare. One such case is presented and the argument for aggressive therapy to these lesions is reviewed.
