summary

A rare case of kidney clear cell carcinoma metastasis to the heart was
described. The observed metastasis manifested itself only just two weeks
after total right-sided nephrectomy because of clear cell carcinoma.
A review of the literature is made and the pathogenesis, diagnosis, clinical
and therapeutic aspects of this disease are discussed.
