Distant metastasis of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) to the sartorius muscle is extremely rare, particularly as an initial presentation. In the present study, we report a rare case of sartorius muscle metastasis from RCC as an initial presentation in a 48-year-old male who presented with a hard painless lump in the right thigh region. Investigation revealed RCC in the right kidney. A radical nephrectomy with wide excision of metastasis was performed. Unusual features on MRI helped in suspecting and further evaluating the metastatic RCC
