Renal Cell Carcinoma Research Paper
Abstract: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is one of the most frequent urological malignancies in adults. It represents for aproximately %3 of all adult malignancies and accounts %90 of neoplasms arising from kidney. RCC often metastasizes to other organs, but very rarely to the head and neck region including maxilla and mandible. A 62-year-old man with metastatic renal cell carcinoma to the mandible was presented in this work.
Key Words: Renal cell carcinoma, Mandible, Metastasis, Head and Neck neoplasms.,
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for 3% of all tumors in adult individuals and has the highest incidence in industrialized countries.RCC is the most common malignant tumor of the kidney (90-95%) and is usually seen in men aged 30-60 years.It is the neoplasm that most metastasizes from the outside of the head and neck region to the oral cavity after lung and breast tumors.RCC is often spread to the organs; Rarely metastasizes to the head and neck region.RCC metastases the thyroid, parotid, tonsil, tongue, sinonasal region, mandible and head and neck of the head and neck region and is diagnosed by biopsy.The main symptoms seen in the metastases of the oral cavity are swelling, pain, bleeding and tooth loss.In this study, we …show more content…
28 Osteomyelitis at the differential diagnosis , pyogenic granuloma, mandibular cysts, primitive malign tumors of jaws, bone diseases such as Langerhans cell histiocytosis, oral metastases should be considered for RCC. 7 In this case, the radiographic image of the metastatic tumor gave a cystic lesion
