Description

<p>The patient was a 56-year-old male. Although a mass lesion was noted at right kidney in 1986, he left it without any treatment. The size of the mass increased and his right kidney was completely resected. The pathological diagnosis was clear cell carcinoma. Interferon-α was injected as adjunct therapy. No recurrence had been noted up to 1997. In 2005, the patient felt throat numbness. He visited an ENT doctor and a tumor at the epiglottis was noted. A cauliflower-shaped mass was observed on the laryngeal side of the epiglottis. The mass was removed through direct laryngoscopy. The pathological image suggested the metastasis of clear cell carcinoma from the kidney. The patient was referred to the urological department for further treatment. Space-occupying lesions were recognized at the left kidney, both lungs, the right mediastinum and the left deltoid muscle. He was treated with a combination of TAE, interferon-α and interleukin-2 therapy, and subsequently achieved complete remission. However, local recurrence occurred and he died of disease in 2012. No recurrence of the laryngeal lesion had been noted.</p>
