Metastatic renal cell carcinoma as a rare cause of duodenal obstruction and gastrointestinal bleeding

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common primary malignant kidney tumor in adults. The clear cell subtype is most common and has a potential to metastasize to almost any site. Small intestine metastases of RCC are very rare. We report a case of a 58-year-old male patient with duodenal obstruction and gastrointestinal bleeding induced by a metastasis from clear-cell RCC (ccRCC). Although rare, small intestine metastasis from RCC in a patient with medical history of RCC should be considered as a possible cause of acute abdomen. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy with deep duodenoscopy and tissue examination should be performed whenever clinically feasible.
