Abstract
|
|
|
|
Metastatic renal cell carcinoma is very rare, especially in the paranasal sinus. Metastasis to multiple sites and late recurrence frequently occur in renal cell carcinoma. Moreover, typical treatment methods applied to this form of tumor have not produced a good response. Therefore, prognosis of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma is typically poor, and a consensus on appropriate treatment methods for these tumors has not been established. Recently, systemic immunotherapy and target therapy were employed to treat the tumor, but they have not been considered as definite treatment methods for metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Since paranasal sinus is surrounded by vital organs, choosing a treatment modality for a tumor in the paranasal sinus is more difficult than in other sites. We present the case of metastatic renal cell carcinoma in the paranasal sinus that was successfully treated by endoscopic surgery with a literature review about treatment methods.
