Despite the fact that RCC can metastasize to almost every organ, the most common organs and areas of metastasis are the lungs, liver, bones, lymph nodes and mediastinum. In RCC, one-third of the patients are already suffering from the metastatic disease during the diagnosis and despite of efficient therapy, one-third of the cases develop metastases over time. RCC lacks any early warning signs, has various clinical manifestations and is resistant to ionizing radiation therapy as well as chemotherapy. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) makes up to 90-95% of kidney-originated neoplasm. Keywords: Renal cell carcinoma Contralateral adrenal metastasis Adrenalectomy Introduction The present study is a case report of a 58-year-old female patient diagnosed with CAM who had been surgically treated 5 years earlier for primary RCC. However, isolated contralateral adrenal metastasis (CAM) following the treatment of primary RCC is quite rare. Metastasis may occur synchronously with the primary tumor or in various organs many years after the treatment of the primary RCC. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is highly metastasizing.
