Abstract

Cutaneous metastases of urological malignancies are a rare phenomenon. We present a case of a renal transplant recipient who presented with skin nodule 12 years posttransplant. Pathohistologic evaluation revealed metastasis from the renal adenocarcinoma. The patient was treated with temsirolimus and later with sorafenib ; however, he died 13 months after the initial presentation with a functional renal allograft.
