Under the nomination of soft tissue sarcomas there are a large variety of mesenchymal neoplasms. This group of rare entities is responsible for just 1 to 2% of all kinds of cancer. Our purpose is to describe an even rarer subtype among these tumors. The patient of this report is a 28-year-old male who presented with pain in his left hemithorax and progressive fatigue. He had no previous comorbidities.

Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) accounts for approximately 3% of all adult malignancies. RCC has a propensity to metastasize along the hematogenous route. About 25% of patients with RCC have distant metastases at presentation. True gastrointestinal metastases, specifically to the gastric wall, have been rarely observed. We present four cases of metastatic renal cell carcinoma to the stomach with ulceration was a characteristic feature.
