Metastatic renal cell carcinoma involving Wharton's duct: a case report.
This article describes a case of renal cell carcinoma that metastasized to the right Wharton's duct of a 73-year-old man. Metastases of renal cell carcinoma to the oral tissues are rare. Involvement of salivary gland tissue appears to be exceedingly rare, and a metastatic focus localized only in the Wharton's duct never has been reported in the literature.
