Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck: A Case Series.
West Virginia Medical Journal 2017 March
Background: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for over 80% of malignant tumors arising from the kidney. However, metastatic RCC to the head and neck is a relatively rare entity.
Case Presentation: We describe three patients with metastatic RCC to the head and neck with the involvement of the parapharyngeal space, the level V region of the neck, and the maxillary sinus.
Conclusion: Metastatic RCC in the head and neck is uncommon; however, it must be taken into consideration given a patient with a history of RCC. Multiple pathways allow for the spread of RCC to the head and neck region. Treatment options include mastectomy or local radiation and systemic chemotherapy.
