Abstract
We present a rare case of metastasis of renal cell carcinoma to the calcaneus in a 59-year-old man who presented with pain and inability to bear weight on the left foot 3 years after right nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma. He successfully underwent en bloc resection of his right calcaneus with a limb salvage procedure, total calcanectomy without bony reconstruction. Histological findings identified the lesion as a metastasis originating from a renal cell carcinoma. Recent follow-up examination showed no recurrence. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case to be treated with total calcanectomy for renal cell carcinoma metastasis.
