Abstract
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is one of the most aggressive genitourinary cancers accounting for about 3% ofadult malignancies. The most common symptoms at the time of presentation are hematuria, lion pain and/oran abdominal mass. However, about a quarter of patients with RCC present with metastatic disease; withlungs, lymph nodes and bone as prototypical metastatic sites. RCC notoriously may metastasize to bizarrelocations like subcutaneous tissue and thyroid. We report a case of simultaneous subcutaneous and thyroidsynchronous metastasis of RCC in an 80year old female diagnosed on FNAC.
