Renal cell carcinoma is the most common form of renal tumors in adults. So called adenocarcinoma of renal cells or hypernephroma. The most common type is clear cell carcinoma in 60% of cases. It is most common between the ages of 50 and 60. Skin metastases are very rare, but when seen, they show poor prognosis and systemic spread of the lesion. There was a large mass with a hemorrhage in the frontal region of the scalp in the patient seen in the thoracic surgery clinic. The patient had renal cell carcinoma and the right kidney was removed 3 years ago. He received pneumonia treatment in the infectious diseases clinic, but he was admitted to the thoracic surgery clinic for biopsy when there was no improvement. Renal cell carcinoma diagnosis was taken for the biopsy done. The dermatology and plastic surgery clinic was consulted for lesions in the frontal region. Excision was performed with an initial diagnosis of pyogenic granuloma. Pathological diagnosis came as renal cell carcinoma metastasis. Lung, bone, skin, liver, and brain metastases of renal cell carcinoma is often shown in the literature. Prognosis is poor in these patients.
