title: Endoscopic Mucosal Resection of a Large Gastric Metastasis from Renal Cell Carcinoma.
abstract: Gastric metastasis from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) occurs in less than 1% of cases. A variety of management options have been described for this condition, however, total or partial gastrecomy is the most common therapeutic approach. We present a case of a large gastric metastatic lesion from a RCC diagnosed 10 years before. This was treated with endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) without evidence of residual lesion after 10 months of follow-up.
