Abstract
Annually, bleeding from the upper gastrointestinal tract occurs
in approximately 100 per 100000 people [1-3] and neoplasm
accounts for (1-4%) of the cases. Renal cell carcinoma constitutes
3% of all adult malignancies and at the time of diagnosis, almost
(25-30%) of patients have metastases. Gastrointestinal bleeding
from renal cell carcinoma metastases is an uncommon and underrecognized
manifestation of this disease. In this case report, we
describe a case of upper gastrointestinal bleeding caused by
metastatic renal cell carcinoma to the second part of duodenum.
