N2  - Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is noted for its unpredictable clinical behavior. It can present with metastatic disease at many unusual sites, even after a long latency. It can thus mimic many other lesions and pose a diagnostic challenge, especially in cases where prior history of RCC is not available. Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) can be very useful in arriving at a correct diagnosis of these lesions. We present an unusual case of RCC in a 55-year-old female who presented with frontal soft tissue mass. A history of nephrectomy 10 years back was not given at the initial presentation. Computed tomography suggested a diagnosis of cavernous hemangiomas. FNAC was suggestive of RCC. Avascular osteolytic lesion in the calvarium should raise the suspicion of metastatic RCC as one of the differential diagnosis.
