title: Metastasis of a renal cell carcinoma to the nose and paranasal sinuses.
abstract: We present a case of a metastasis of a renal cell carcinoma to the nose and paranasal sinuses. A 66 year old male patient developed a mass in his left nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, five years after he underwent a left sided nefrectomy for a renal cell carcinoma. The histopathologic examination of the nasal mass showed metastasis of a renal cell carcinoma. A craniofacial resection was performed followed by radiotherapy.
