Urology. 1988 Jul;32(1):52-3. doi: 10.1016/0090-4295(88)90454-2.

Abstract

We report on 2 cases of renal cell carcinoma with solitary contralateral adrenal metastasis which was demonstrated six months and one year, respectively, after radical nephrectomy. Pulmonary metastases developed six months after adrenalectomy in 1 patient; the other patient is alive without any evidence of disease twenty-two months after adrenalectomy.
