Abstract

Small renal cell carcinoma (RCC) tumors are believed to have a negligible risk of metastasis. We report on a 77-year-old man presenting with extremity weakness who was found to have a 2.5cm brain metastasis from a subsequently discovered 1.6cm clear cell RCC primary tumor. We review what is known about synchronous and metachronous metastasis from small renal tumors and prognostic features informing treatment for such lesions.
