Renal metastasis from carcinoma of the lung is rarely a clinical problem. Autopsic series however prove that the kidney is a frequent metastatic organ (20%). We report the case of a 43-years-old male patient affected with a squamous cell carcinoma of the lung, with bilateral renal extension. These secondary localizations were detected through a left flank pain prior to a systemic inflammatory response syndrome. The absence of hematuria (even microscopic) contrasted with the importance of the lesions. The age, along with the poor general state of our patient and the absence of any CT specificity justified an exploratory lobotomy. The pathologic analysis of the renal biopsies confirmed the metastatic nature of the lesion.

Renal metastasis from non-small cell lung cancer is rather uncommon. The mechanism underlying the occurrence of metastasis in this site is still not well understood. We report a case of a 53-year-old Chinese woman who had moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. After a ten months post-surgery interval of disease free survival, computed tomography (CT) scan found that left renal parenchymal was occupied by a mass, confirmed by kidney biopsy to be a metastasis from squamous cell lung carcinoma. Based on this case, we are warned to be cautious in diagnosis and treatment when renal lesion are detected.
