The role of percutaneous tumour biopsies had gain importance in the management of renal cell carcinoma to provide diagnostic specimen for the patients with metastatic disease that could benefit a systemic treatment. Among the possible complications of this procedure, however, there is the risk of tumoral cells seeding along the biopsy’s tract; this complication, albeit being reported as anecdotal, could have devastating effects. Here we report a case of a young male who developed subcutaneous chest metastasis of renal cell carcinoma after a biopsy of a lung nodule. We subsequently reviewed other cases reported in literature

肾细胞癌胸腔活检后肿瘤播种：病例报告及文献复习

经皮肿瘤活检的作用在肾细胞癌的管理中变得越来越重要，为转移性疾病患者提供诊断样本，可能有益于全身治疗。然而，在此过程可能出现的并发症中，存在肿瘤细胞沿活检道播种的风险。这种并发症虽然被报道为轶事，但可能会产生破坏性影响。在这里，我们报告了一例在肺结节活检后发生肾细胞癌皮下胸部转移的年轻男性。我们随后回顾了文献中报道的其他病例
