Renal cell carcinoma manifests primarily as endobronchial mass: An unusual presentation


, , ,
Abstract

Endobronchial metastasis (EBM) from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a very rare entity, though pulmonary metastasis of RCC is common. Here, we present a case of RCC with EBM, in which the primary tumor was detected after the detection of secondary. A 60-year-old man presented with cough for last 2 months. Contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT) chest followed by bronchoscopy revealed an endobronchial mass at left bronhi. CECT whole abdomen revealed a left-sided renal space occupying lesion (SOL). CT guided fine needle aspiration cytology of the SOL proved it as a RCC. Palliative bronchoscopic removal of endobronchial mass by snaring diathermy was done.
