Abstract

Rectal cancer is a common malignant pathology; its usual spread involves the liver and lungs. The occurrence of renal metastases is exceptional. CT scanning aims to evaluate extension and may incidentally reveal a renal mass, which can be better characterized through MRI and ultrasound. We describe a case of a solitary renal metastasis from rectal cancer and underscore the significant role of imaging in positively diagnosing this uncommon pathology.

Axial section: Contrast injection displaying peripheral enhancement of the renal mass within a context of peritoneal carcinosis and rectal tumor recurrence, suggesting a secondary right renal mass.
