| Summary: | Renal cell carcinomas have diverse clinical presentations. Patients may present with metastatic symptoms at the time of diagnosis
or years after resection of primary tumour. Small intestine is a rare site for metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Presentation as polypoid
metastasis with intussusception is extremely rare. Here, we report two cases with this rare presentation. Case 1 was a 65-year-old
male with multiple polypoid metastasis causing intussusception while on palliative chemotherapy for renal cell carcinoma. Case 2
was a 68-year-old female with history of nephrectomy presenting with single polypoid metastasis causing intussusception. |
