A Rare Case of Renal Cell Carcinoma in Left Renal Ectopia with Cervical Spine Metastasis Presented as Quadriparesis

Renal Cell Carcinoma
Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) is the most common solid tumor affecting adults, accounting 2% of the cancers worldwide.

The incidence of renal cell carcinoma in a pelvic kidney which represents the most common form of ectopic kidney is extremely rare.

We describe a case where an incidental pelvic kidney with a large sized renal cell carcinoma was diagnosed when a patient presented with cervical spondylitis myelopathy due to cervical metastasis.
