Studies conducted at Ruhr University on carcinoma recently published
2009 MAY 18 - (NewsRx.com) -- According to recent research from Bochum, Germany, "Renal cell carcinoma constitutes about 3 % of adult malignancies. It has a high metastatic potential associated with synchronous or metachronous metastatic disease." "Further, it is known to metastasize mainly to the lung, bone, brain, liver, or adrenal glands. In very rare cases it can metastasize to the gallbladder mimicking acute cholecystitis on clinical exam," wrote M. Sand and colleagues, Ruhr University. The researchers concluded: "In this case we present a patient who developed a gallbladder metastasis five years after a renal cell carcinoma mimicking acute cholecystitis." Sand and colleagues published their study in European Journal of Medical Research (GALLBLADDER METASTASIS FROM RENAL CELL CARCINOMA MIMICKING ACUTE CHOLECYSTITIS. European Journal of Medical Research, 2009;14(2):90-92). For additional information, contact M.
