- Abstract
Kidney cancer is known for its potential to produce metastases to virtually all organs. We present a 54-year-old male patient who suffered from esophageal metastasis during initially successful sunitinib treatment. The lesion manifested initially as a sliding esophageal hiatal hernia. The challenging diagnosis with limited radiological investigations and treatment are described.
