Colonic metastasis of a renal carcinoma. A case report.
A 64 year-old man with a metastatic clear-cell renal carcinoma experienced low intestinal bleeding. The endoscopy revealed a polypoid mass in the left colon which proved to be a metastasis of the renal carcinoma. This is an uncommon cause of intestinal hemorrhage, and a rare localization of metastatic deposits.
