Colon thickened and Free Fluid at the Pelvic
Hi! Everyone!
I had a laparoscopic partial nephrectomy in July 2017. My pathology is Clear Cell RCC, 4cm, T1a Nx Mx
Today is my 3rd time MRI scan & chest X ray. Everyhing are OK.
But they accidentally found my descending colon had thickened and there are some free fluid at the pelvic area.
After consulted 2 radiologists both of them are very confident something is there. It could be RCC tumor that caused the colon to be thickened. As i googled it, it seem like rcc metastatic to colon is very rare or maybe i'm really the most unlucky one.
But there is no confirmation yet, as i was refer to a General Surgeon to perform colonoscopy and CT scan with contrast as soon as possible.
Has anyone encounter RCC metastatic to colon? Please advise. TQ

Hi, sorry to hear abouu this
Hi, sorry to hear abouu this reason to stress. Do you have colonoscopy and CT dates already? I’ve never heard of RCC mets to colon. But I’ve been on the similar road with my husband’s knee pain. I immediately assumed there are mets. mets to knee are very-very rare, but it is theoretically possible. So I was worried. He got it checked, and of course there are no mets. The rare things hapen very-very rarely. Also many guys here had issues pop up on their scans - these were real health issues, seen on scans, but benign ones, not mets. Good luck and keep us posted!
