title: Genital tract metastases from renal cell carcinoma--a case report and discussion.
abstract: A case of renal cell carcinoma presenting with metastases in the female genital tract is reported. Clinical and histological features distinguishing primary and secondary clear cell adenocarcinoma of the genital tract are discussed. It is emphasised that when a clear cell adenocarcinoma is found, particularly in a post-menopausal woman, metastatic renal carcinoma has to be excluded. Although so far there are 61 cases reported in the world literature from English speaking countries, we believe that this is the first case reported from the United Kingdom.
