Upper gastrointestinal bleeding secondary to late gastric metastasis of renal cell carcinoma

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma is the most common renal neoplasm in adults. It has a relatively slow growth pattern that delays diagnosis until the onset of local, paraneoplastic or metastasis-related manifestations, and an unpredictable behavior ranging from aggressive tumors with poor short-term prognosis to late recurrence cases where metastases are identified years after nephrectomy, the latter scenario being the subject of the case we herein report.
