title: Solitary renal metastasis 23 years after extirpation of a bronchial adenoid cystic carcinoma.
abstract: In a 47-year-old man left nephrectomy was performed in 1982 because of a solitary metastasis arising from a bronchial adenoid cystic carcinoma which had been extirpated 23 years previously, in 1959. Whole-body CT scanning one year after nephrectomy disclosed no local recurrence or further metastasis. The importance of long follow-up after surgery for adenoid cystic carcinoma is emphasized.
