Abstract

Renal cell cancer constitutes about 3% of all cancers and is usually seen at advanced age.Approximately 18% of cases are metastatic at the time of diagnosis. Bone metastases have an average incidence of 30%, of which 15% occur in spinal column. Spinal metastases may causepain, bone fractures, neurological deficits due to nerve compression, and hypercalcemia. The treatment of spinal metastases currently involves surgery, radiotherapy, interventional radiological methods, and systemic therapies. Here, we report a patient examined for low back pain and neurological deficit due to spinal metastases, who was detected to have a renal cell cancer as the primary tumor. Renal cell cancer should be remembered in the differential diagnosis of spinal metastases whena primary tumor is sought.
