Abstract

Metastatic Sarcomatoid Renal Cell Carcinoma has been shown to be a diagnosis that holds a median survival time of under a year. Top metastases locations have been reported to be the lung, retroperitoneal lymph nodes, and axial skeleton. Tutor markers vary widely, making the histological understanding of this disease particularly important. Whether higher percentage of sarcomatoid histopathology corresponds with a worse prognosis or not is also highly debated in the literature. Here we present a case of Sarcomatoid Renal Cell Carcinoma that has metastasized to the Duodenum, which to the best of our knowledge, is the first reported case. We hope to raise awareness of the potential duodenum metastasis and corresponding tumor markers of Sarcomatoid Renal Cell Carcinoma to aid in the treatment of future patients.
