Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 7
Abstract
Renal cell carcinoma is a relatively rare tumor representing approximately 3% of malignant tomor. 2 About a third of patients with renal cell carcinoma have metastasis at diagnosis.2 Clear cell carcinoma is a relatively rare tumor representing approx. 85% of renal cell carcinoma, but has a characteristic of early metastatic. 2 Metastatic tumors in the Para nasal sinuses are very rare.2 Metastasis to sphenoid sinus is an extremely rare event with less than 10 documented cases reported in English literature. 6 We report a case of renal cell carcinoma with metastasis to sphenoid sinus. Renal cell carcinoma is a rare tumor representing approx. 3% of all tumors. About 1/3 rd. of all patients present with metastasis.
