Abstract
The present study reports a rare case of a renal clear cell carcinoma with thyroid and parotid metastases. A 56‑year‑old female, with a painless, right preauricular mass present for 6 months was referred to Renji Hospital (Shanghai, China). Physical examination revealed a mass of 3x3 cm, which was smooth, firm, immobile and non‑tender. There was no accompanying facial weakness. Parotid ultrasonography revealed a hypoechoic mass within the right parotid gland, which was potentially a parotid mixed tumor. In July 2011, the patient underwent a superficial parotidectomy with preservation of the facial nerve. Pathology confirmed as right parotid clear cell carcinoma (metastasis). The patient's relevant medical history included a right radical nephrectomy for renal clear cell carcinoma (clinical stage III) in 2004. Additionally, in 2009, the patient underwent a resection of thyroid metastatic renal cell carcinoma. To the best of our knowledge, no similar case has previously been reported in English‑language literature. The present study discusses a case report, and investigates the clinical features and treatment strategy.
