Background: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common renal malignancy in adults. RCC can metastasize to various organs of the human body, including lung, bone, brain, liver, and adrenal gland. However, solitary metastases are relatively rare in clinical practice, and surgical treatment is still the preferred treatment.
Case report: We present a 68-year-old male patient who was performed laparoscopic radical left nephrectomy for RCC 8 years ago. Postoperative routine examination revealed an occupying lesion in the liver. Further PET-CT suggested hepatic metastasis of RCC thus undergoing laparoscopic left hepatectomy. Pathology confirmed metastatic RCC in the liver. The patient recovered well after the operation, and there was no sign of recurrence during the follow-up for six months after the operation.
Conclusion: Patients with renal carcinoma can still have recurrence and metastasis after radical nephrectomy for many years. Therefore, long-term close follow-up is beneficial to patients with radical nephrectomy.
