Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is among the most prevalent renal tumors in adults. Its most common subtype is the clear cell subtype. Despite radical nephrectomy, patients may experience recurrence and distant metastasis. Lymph node and distant metastases can also be expected in early-stage RCCs, and the metastasis risk increases by tumor size. Lung metastasis is considered important when it comes to the spread of the tumor to other organs. In this study, we presented two cases with rare gastrointestinal metastases of cRCC.
