Abstract

Two cases of metachronous metastases of renal cell adenocarcinoma are reported. One case presented a solitary metastasis of the ethmoid-orbit which was resected. The patient has remained well for the following 12 months. The second case presented with a secondary to the tongue and multiple metastases elsewhere. Electrodissection achieved a good palliative result.
