Intracapillary glomerular metastases in a nephrectomy specimen removed for ipsilateral renal cell carcinoma . A case of intraglomerular metastases observed in a nephrectomy specimen removed for primary renal cell carcinoma is reported . The intraglomerular metastases arose by dissemination of malignant cells into the systemic circulation via invasion of the renal veins . Intraglomerular metastases are therefore an indicator of malignant dissemination which in turn should be associated with a poor prognosis . It is recommended that in nephrectomies undertaken for primary renal cell carcinoma at least one random block of renal cortex should be examined to confirm or exclude intraglomerular metastases .
