Abstract

In the present study, the case of a 51-year-old female with a metastatic tumor in the left kidney originating from cervical carcinoma, is reported. The patient had undergone chemoradiotherapy for stage IIB squamous‑cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix 3 years earlier. Computed tomography (CT) identified low‑density left renal nodules, which were diagnosed post‑operatively as renal cysts during the follow‑up conducted 2 years later. The next year, the patient was admitted to the Hunan Provincial Tumor Hospital (The Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Xiangya Medical College, Central South University, Changsha, Hunan, China) with a fever of unknown origin, left‑sided flank pain and hematuria. CT examination detected irregular low‑density nodules in the left kidney and heterogeneous enhancement on enhanced CT. Subsequently, the patient was subjected to a nephrectomy. Post‑surgical analysis of subsequent biopsies indicated kidney tumor metastasis originating from cervical carcinoma. Renal metastases are rare in patients with cervical carcinoma. The present study reported a case of renal metastasis originating from cervical carcinoma and also reviewed previous case reports on patients presenting with this unusual type of cancer.
