Renal cell cancers are common and have a high rate of uncommon manifestations. A third of patients with renal cell carcinoma present first with features of metastasis. We report the case of a 43 year old woman presenting first to the ophthalmology clinic with a facial mass and to the urology clinic 2 months later. She thereafter had radical nephrectomy and subsequently, excision biopsy of the facial/ maxillary mass after initial evaluation. Histology of both specimen showed papillary renal cell cancer and clear cell papillary cancer, respectively. A consideration of renal cell cancer should be considered a strong differential when patients present with tumours of the head and neck, knowing that renal cancers can metastasize to virtually every part of the body.
