Metastatic tumor in papilla Vateri represents a very unusual cause of renal cell carcinoma. We describe the case of an 81-year-old woman who had a rare complication of metastatic tumor of the ampulla Vateri. 17 years after resection of the kidney because of clear cell carcinoma she presented to the clinic because of massive bleeding (Forrest IB) into the digestive tract in the form of blood-stained vomit. As a result of conducted diagnostics a bleeding bump of the Vater’s papilla was recognized – in the histopathological examination – metastatic tumor from clear cell carcinoma of the kidney was diagnosed. The patient underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy. The patient went home after 8 days of hospitalization and was directed at further cancer treatment. This case is discussed based on a review of the literature. However, until now there has been no case report of metastatic tumor of the papilla of Vater in the literature.
