Abstract

Metastatic disease involving the stomach is very rare. The gastric metastases of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) have rarely been reported, occurring in 0.2% of all RCC cases. Sometimes gastric metastases cause gastrointestinal bleeding and require treatment.We present the case of an 85-year-old woman with gastric metastasis from RCC diagnosed by anemia and bleeding. A dynamic contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a pedunculated and hypervascular polypoid mass approximately 100 mm in size with a washout enhancement pattern in the stomach. In addition to describing the case of our patient, we have reviewed computed tomography findings of gastric metastases from clear RCC. Keywords: Renal cell carcinoma, Gastric metastasis, Endoscopic submucosal dissection, Polypoid tumor
