Cancer relapsing can rarely occur at the surgical scar. It happens in laparoscopic and robotic surgery more than the traditional open surgery. It is extremely rare after urological cancer surgery.

Here, we report a case of a 42-year-old male who developed an incision site metastasis following open radical nephrectomy for metastatic clear cell renal carcinoma.
