Core Tip

Core Tip: Jejunal secondary tumor from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is extremely rare. Herein, we present a case of small bowel obstruction caused by a jejunal secondary tumor from RCC. A male patient who underwent a left radical nephrectomy for RCC before visited the hospital with intestinal obstruction symptoms. Emergency intestinal segmental resection was performed, and postoperative pathology confirmed a jejunal secondary tumor from RCC. This report is written to remind urologists and pathologists of the potential for small intestinal secondary tumors when a patient with a history of RCC seeks treatment for digestive symptoms.
