Renal cell carcinoma with initial presentation as erythematous skin metastasis.
J Surg Pak Jan ;15(3):159-60.

Presentation of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with classic triad of flank pain, haematuria and a palpable abdominal mass is uncommon. Most of the cases present with only one of these symptoms or as an incidental diagnosis as a result of radiological imaging done for another reason. RCC with metastasis to the skin is uncommon. We report a case of renal cell carcinoma presenting with skin metastasis to trunk with signs of inflammation being suspected as an abscess. Following investigations and biopsy confirmation patient underwent palliative radiotherapy to skin lesions and referred for palliative nephrectomy.
