Abstract

We report on a 67-year-old male patient who had undergone treatment for renal cell carcinoma 19 years previously. A CT scan showed a solitary enlarged lymph node in the right upper paratracheal region. A specimen was obtained by endobronchial ultrasound with transbronchial needle aspiration. Cytological analysis revealed lymph node metastasis of the late relapsing renal cell carcinoma.
