Further comments on the paper

Comments: This case report presents the case of a gentleman in his early 60’s, who presented with acrometastasis as the first sign of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The occurrence of this condition is extremely rare. This report holds significance as acrometastasis mimics benign conditions resulting in clinical misdiagnosis. Therefore, acrometastasis needs to be differentiated from other conditions due to common signs and symptoms. It presents as swollen, erythematous, painful lesions over the soft tissue and bone.

Q: Would you recommend this manuscript for further publication?

A: Yes - Suitable to be published
