Renal Cell Carcinoma Presenting as a Tongue Lesion

B S Renal cancers account for about 3% of all adult malignancies, with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) being the most common. RCC has many diverse manifestations often with non-urologic features and few warning signs. Metastatic lesions to the tongue are rare and have been the presenting feature in only 5 cases. We present a case of RCC diagnosed after initial presentation of a tongue lesion in a 72-year-old man. This case is the sixth case of RCC presenting as a tongue metastasis.
