Abstract

Metastatic origin of Gall bladder polyp is usually associated with either gastric carcinoma or melanoma. Whereas, its association with Renal cell carcinoma is a rare occurrence. Its prevalence in autopsies is reported to be around 0.6%. Here, we present a case of 73-year-old gentleman, diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma 2 years back and underwent radical nephrectomy. During his routine follow-up, ultrasound revealed a gall bladder polyp which was about 28 mm in size. He underwent open cholecystectomy and histopathological analysis revealed it as a metastatic deposit. Hence, suggestive of metachronous gall bladder polyp in renal cell carcinoma.
