Sažetak
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.
