Metastatic cutaneous head and neck renal cell carcinoma with no known primary: case report.
Renal cell carcinoma represents 2-3% of all adult malignancies, and metastasis to the head and neck is a presenting complaint in 8% of these patients. Cutaneous facial renal cell carcinoma with no known primary renal tumour is unusual. We report a case of renal cell carcinoma of the nose with no known primary.
