We report a rare case of a patient with RCC with metastasis to the tongue. A 72-year-old man visited our otorhinolaryngology clinic complaining of tongue pain and ulcerative lesions which occurred 3\u2009weeks before. The patient had been diagnosed with RCC and received a right radical nephrectomy 3\u2009years previously. Because the lesion was suspected to be malignant, a hemiglossectomy was planned. However, metastatic lesions were suspected on the left upper lung and the left 10th ribs in imaging studies and the result of an incisional biopsy revealed tongue metastasis of RCC. RCC metastasis to the tongue is extremely rare. Only 51 cases were reported worldwide from 1911 to 2017. According to the literature, no case of RCC metastasis to the tongue has been reported to date in Korea. Therefore, we report this case along with a review of the literature.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/01455613231226038","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,21]],"date-time":"2024-02-21T07:38:41Z","timestamp":1708501121000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Tongue Metastasis From Renal Cell Carcinoma: A Rare Case Presentation"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"105","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-3789-5800","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hyeok Tae","family":"Kweon","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, College of Medicine, Jeonbuk National University, Jeonju, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ji Seob","family":"Yoo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, College of Medicine, Jeonbuk National University, Jeonju, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7584-5823","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yong Tae","family":"Hong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, College of Medicine, Jeonbuk National University, Jeonju, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,21]]},"reference":[{"issue":"76","key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","first-page":"185","article-title":"metastatic renal cell carcinoma presenting as a clear-cell tumor in tongue: a case report","volume":"26","author":"Abbaszadeh-Bidokhty H","year":"2014","unstructured":"Abbaszadeh-Bidokhty H, Motallebnejad M, Rajabi-Moghaddam M. metastatic renal cell carcinoma presenting as a clear-cell tumor in tongue: a case report.
