Abstract
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is notorious for spreading to various organs, however, its occurrence in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is uncommon and poses diagnostic challenges due to vague symptoms. Here, we present the case of a 64-year-old man experiencing recurrent RCC metastasis in the GI tract. He presented with multiple episodes of hematochezia and was found to have masses in the colon, liver, and peritoneum, with histopathology confirming RCC. The patient underwent systemic chemotherapy and palliative radiation therapy, leading to symptom relief. This case emphasizes the rarity of RCC metastasizing to the GI tract and the importance of timely recognition and frequent surveillance during the remission phase to detect recurrence.
