Adenocarcinoma is among the most common tumors with a 95% incidence. Renal tumor metastases can occur by the lymphatic, lymphohematogenous, or hematogenous route. A 59-year-old female with metastasis of renal adenocarcinoma, at an unusual localization is presented. Diagnosis was made by ultrasound and cytologic examination, computerized tomography, angiography, and tumor biopsy.
