신세포암은 원발 부위의 수술적 절제를 하더라도 전이를 자주하는 질환으로 이에 따라 5년간의 추적조사가 권장되고 있다. 본 증례에서는 신세포암으로 신적출술 이후 통상적인 5년간의 추적조사기간동안 전이가 발견되지 않았으나, 7년후 폐렴으로 내원하여 조사중에 발견한 신세포암의 기관지내 전이를 수술적인 방법으로 제거하여서 보고하는 바이다
A distant metastasis from a renal cell carcinoma is quite common after a radical nephrectomy. For this reason, a5 year scheduled follow up is recommended. However, a distant metastasis 5 years after the resection is quite rare. We encountered an endobronchial metastasis from a renal cell carcinoma that was discovered 7 years after the radical nephrectomy, and did not present during the 5 year scheduled follow up regimen. We report this case with a review of the literatures. (Tuberc Respir Dis 2006; 61: 496-500)
