Core Tip Retroperitoneal lymph node dissection has important diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognostic functions in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). We present the first case of a solitary metastatic retroperitoneal lymph node with an unknown primary site but whose immunohistochemical features were consistent with clear cell RCC (CCRCC). A nephrectomy was not performed as a renal mass was not detected on any prior radiological examinations. Imaging studies for a subsequent 5 years demonstrated no recurrent or metastatic disease or retroperitoneal adenopathy. Our case highlights the therapeutic role of metastasectomy in metastatic CCRCC in the absence of a primary tumor in the kidneys.
