Abstract

We report two rare cases of gallbladder metastasis from renal cell carcinoma. A 76-year-old man who had undergone left nephrectomy for left renal cell carcinoma 7 years previously was diagnosed as gastric cancer and polypoid tumor of the gallbladder. We performed a subtotal gastrectomy and cholecystectomy. Histologically the gallbladder tumor was diagnosed as metastasis from renal cell carcinoma because the tumor was found in the submucosal layer and showed the same characteristics as primary renal cell carcinoma. A 60-year-old female who undergone left nephrectomy for left renal cell carcinoma 8 years previously was admitted to the hospital because of right hypochondralgia. The patient was dignosed as gallbladder cancer with liver metastasis and we performed cholecystectomy, with liver bed resection, and hepatic tumor enucleation. The gallbladder cancer showed irregular elevated lesions and infiltrated the liver bed. We diagnosed it as metastasis from renal cell carcinoma because it was growing mainly around intestitial tissues and showed the same histological fingings as primary renal cell carcinoma. Gallbladder metastasis from renal cancer is very rare, and there are reports of only 15 cases in Japan.
