Core Tip

Core Tip: The skin metastasis of renal cell carcinoma can be diagnosed by pathological biopsy and immunohistochemical staining. The patient’s history, laboratory examination and imaging examination can assist in the diagnosis. The occurrence of skin metastasis often indicates a poor prognosis, and surgical treatment may improve the prognosis. Our patient refused surgery and returned to targeted drug therapy, resulting in significant improvement in skin lesions.
