Description
Summary:Renal cell carcinoma is an aggressive tumor that accounts for 3% of adult neoplasia. The most common sites of metastasis are the lung, adrenal, large intestine, brain and intraabdominal organs. In addition, cases of metastasis in the heart, bladder, breast, tonsil and thyroid have been reported in the literature. We present a case of renal cell carcinoma metastasis located in a nasal cavity in order to emphasize the possibility of metastatic lesions being responsible for nasal obstruction and epistaxis.
