Rowan-Virtua Research Day

Occult papillary renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a rare disease process in which there is evidence of metastatic kidney cancer, but no primary kidney tumor can be found on physical exam or imaging. The papillary subtype of RCC accounts for 10-15% of RCC’s. These lesions infrequently present as occult disease. A Virchow’s node can be positive for multiple cancer types, most notably gastric cancer, but also gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, testicular, and prostate cancer. We describe a case of occult papillary renal cell carcinoma diagnosed by biopsy of a Virchow’s node.

This is a case of a 73-year-old Caucasian male presenting with an asymptomatic right adrenal mass.

Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) constitutes 80 to 85% of primary renal neoplasms. At presentation, up to 25% of patients with RCC will have evidence of metastases or locally advanced disease. [1] Patients will rarely present with any symptoms since the majority of patients are incidentally diagnosed due to radiologic procedures performed for other indications. RCC is considered the most lethal of urologic cancers because a patient without intervention who has stage IV metastatic disease has a 5-year survival rate of 23% in comparison to …
