We report here a case of cytodiagnosis of cutaneous metastasis of RCC in a patient who had nephrectomy done 9 years back at some other centre, but did not have any records with him. Clinicians should be aware of the possibility of primary internal organ malignancy in patients presenting with cutaneous lesions and therefore conduct a careful examination and get necessary investigations. Prompt diagnosis and treatment will have its bearing on the eventual outcome. %K Clear cell tumors %K cutaneous metastasis %K renal cell carcinoma %U http://www.jcytol.org/article.asp?issn=0970-9371;year=2011;volume=28;issue=1;spage=30;epage=32;aulast=Dhingra
