[Metachronous or contralateral adrenal metastases in renal cell cancer].
There are few reports on contralateral or metachronous adrenal gland metastases in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in the literature. Since sonography has been more frequently used in follow-up examinations these metastases have been found more often. We report on five patients with solitary metastases from RCC to the ipsi- or contralateral adrenal gland.
