Tóm tắt

An 81-year-old South Asian man normally resident in the UK presented with night sweats for over 2 months on a background of weight loss of 4 kg in 6 months. His medical history was significant for metastatic renal cell carcinoma treated 5 years previously with cytoreductive nephrectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy. Following an abnormal chest radiograph showing an ill-defined right paratracheal mass, a CT scan showed eggshell calcification (circumferential calcification) of enlarged low right paratracheal lymph nodes. An endobronchial ultrasound–guided transbronchial needle aspiration of an involved large paratracheal lymph node showed cytology consistent with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
