title: Solitary vaginal metastasis from unsuspected renal cell carcinoma.
abstract: Four cases of solitary vaginal metastasis from previously unsuspected renal cell carcinoma are presented. Vaginal bleeding, the presenting symptom in each patient, led to the finding of the metastatic vaginal lesion and to the urological evaluation, which revealed the occult primary renal cell carcinoma. With surgical treatment 2 of the 4 patients have remained well for more than 5 years.
