Abstract
The literature provides few examples of regression of documented metastatic renal cell carcinoma. We report a case of cytologically documented pulmonary metastases from a renal cell carcinoma, which resolved following nephrectomy and hormonal therapy. The patient has been followed for 6 years without evidence of recurrence.
