Abstract
We report herein the case of a patient who underwent successful resection o f a solitary metachronous periprostatic metastasis 12 months after undergoi ng a right radical nephrectomy with pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenect omy for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with a synchronous pancreaticoduodenal m etastasis. At present the patient is free of any signs of recurrence 12 mon ths after removal of the metachronous mass in the periprostate. This case r eport supports the opinion that an aggressive surgical approach is appropri ate for RCC metastasis.
