Tóm tắt

Gastrointestinal bleeding from renal cell carcinoma metastasis is an uncommon manifestation of tumor recurrence and is usually difficult to control. Palliative trans-catheter embolization to control the bleeding has been used and described in the literature. The present report describes a 62- years-old male with local recurrence of RCC who presented with upper GI bleeding as the primary manifestation 10 years after right-sided partial nephrectomy. A pseudoaneurysm of renal artery with erosion into the duodenal lumen was responsible for the massive bleeding and was controlled with coil embolization. This case report highlights the importance of high index suspicion in post-nephrectomy patients for RCC, presenting with new symptoms. Aggressive gastrointestinal workup and adequate awareness of available minimally-invasive endovascular options for controlling GIB in these patients, are of paramount importance.
