Abstract
Perineal involvement by metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is very rare, and there are only few reports on its radiological findings in the literature. Here, we present a case of a 76-year old female who presented with perineal pain caused by metastatic clear cell RCC. We discuss the radiological changes of the tumor before and after targeted therapy. CopyrightsEntities:

Fig. 176-year-old female with a palpable left perineal metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
A. T2 weighted coronal and axial scans show lobulating high signal intensity mass abutting urethra in left perineum.
B. Gd-enhanced fat-saturated T1 weighted axial image shows heterogeneous, strong enhancement with intratumoral non-enhancing area.
C. DWI at a b value of 1000 s/mm2 shows a hyperintense mass in left perineum. ADC map shows a low ADC value (mean, 1.63 × 10−3 mm2/sec).
D. Contrast enhanced axial CT image of perineum shows a heterogeneously enhancing perineal mass.
E. Coronal reformatted CT image shows large heterogeneously enhancing left renal mass (long arrow) as well as left perineal mass (short arrows), indicating renal cell carcinoma of left kidney with perineal metastasis. Lung metastases are seen on both basal lungs (arrowheads).
F. CT scan performed 3 months after targeted therapy shows decrease in tumor size in left kidney and left perineum. Almost of the tumors has cystic appearance with necrotic change of primary and metastatic clear cell carcinomas.
