Solitary Contralateral Adrenal Metastases after Nephrectomy for Renal Cell Carcinoma by Nikolaos Antoniou, Demetrios Karanastasis

“…In order of decreasing frequency, the most common metastatic sites are the lungs, lymph nodes, liver, bone, contralateral kidney and ipsilateral adrenal glands. Adrenal involvement has been reported in 7 to 19% of autopsystudies. 1,3 Solitary metachronous metastatic involvement of the contralateral adrenal from renal cell carcinoma is rarely diagnosed during life and only 4 cases have been reported. 4,5 Recent advances in imaging techniques have allowed the diagnosis of adrenal involvement by renal cancer. …”
