Résumé
Renal cell carcinoma is known for its metastatic potential, however, metastasis to the head and neck are rare. We present a 71-year-old man who presented with a palpable tongue mass. The positron-emission tomographic-computed tomographic scan revealed enhancements in the left tongue base, left thyroid, left shoulder musculature, right upper thigh, and right paratracheal mediastinal lymph nodes. Subsequent tongue and trapezius muscle biopsies had immunochemical stains consistent with renal cell carcinoma metastasis. This article discusses an uncommon metastatic pattern of renal cell carcinoma to the tongue and what is the second reported metastasis of renal cell carcinoma to the trapezius muscle.
