Benjamin R. Hart, Mazen El Atrache, Ashish Zalawadia A Rare Case of Simultaneous Metastatic Disease of Renal Cell Carcinoma to the Stomach, Bone, and Lungs Benjamin R. Hart, Mazen El Atrache, Ashish Zalawadia Introduction Clinical Images Discussion continued Gastric Metastatic disease is a relatively uncommon occurrence happening in 0.2 to 0.7% of cases1,2. The most common sources of gastric metastatic disease are derived from Lung, Breast, Melanoma, and Esophageal cancers2. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for 3% of all cancers. 25-30% of RCC presents at an advanced state with metastatic disease most often presenting with spread to lung, liver, bone, soft tissue, and brain. The occurrence of RCC with metastatic disease to the stomach has been documented in 50 cases in the literature prior to 20163. Gastric RCC typically presents with a solitary bulky mass in the gastric body and are typically of a clear cell etiology6. Treatment options are unclear however total or partial gastrectomy are common, endoscopic resection, chemotherapy including sorafenib, temsirolimus, and bevacizumab have also been attempted1,7 For cases of bleeding, resection and subsequent hemostasis can be considered by embolization or endoscopic approaches3. . Conclusion Case 79 year old male patient with past medical history of stage 4 renal cell carcinoma status post nephrectomy and radiation presented with melena. His vital signs were normal upon presentation. Physical exam was unremarkable except for mild left sided abdominal pain without guarding or rebound. He was found to have a hemoglobin of 5.9g/dL from a baseline of 9g/dL, 2 months ago. Upper endoscopy showed a non bleeding non ulcerated vessel in the second portion of the duodenal bulb. This was consistent with a Dieulafoy’s lesion.  It was treated with epinephrine injection and one hemoclip.  In stomach we noted two ulcerated friable masses (3 cm and 4 cm).  Biopsy showed Clear Cell carcinoma consistent with renal origin. Antral biopsy was remarkable for gastritis with reactive changes and H. pylori positivity.  Imaging was performed to rule out further metastatic disease. CT showed numerous pulmonary metastatic nodules, a lesion in the right kidney, a lesion in the acetabulum with large destructive metastasis, and multiple abdominal lymph nodes and small enhancing peritoneal nodules with concern for metastatic disease.  He represented three weeks later with hypoxia secondary to a pulmonary embolus treated with Enoxaparin which was discontinued after he developed melena, requiring 2 units pRBCs and was discharged to rehab. Seventeen days later he returned with additional GI bleeding with Hb of 7.2g/dL requiring 2 units PRBCs and was enrolled in hospice care. This shows that RCC remains unpredictable in its pattern of spread. Oncologists should anticipate any pattern of presentation of RCC metastasis, and this report emphasizes the importance of close follow- up and a high suspicion for odd areas of metastasis.

Figures: Gastric Mass Discussion Renal cell carcinoma can metastasize to multiple organs. The most common sites are the liver, brain, bones, and lung. Metastatic disease to the stomach is very rare (0.2–4%)1,4.  Our patient had metastatic disease in both of these organs as well as bone and lungs. Common presentations of gastric metastisis of RCC can often occur late average 7 years after initial diagnosis, and often presents with bleeding 83-65%, anemia 35%, abdominal pain 13% and dysphagia 3%, and some patients are asymptomatic 9%1,5,6.
