Abstract

One of the major risk factors of renal cell carcinoma is acquired cystic kidney disease (ACKD) developed in course of end-stage renal failure (ESRF) and the incidence of ACKD increases with the duration of dialysis. Moreover, the overall incidence of renal cell carcinoma after renal transplantation has been reported to be being more than 8 times higher compared with that of general population. But renal cell carcinomas occurred in native kidneys before and after renal transplantation in ESRF patient with ACKD are very rare. We experienced a case of renal cell carcinoma occurred in native kidneys 14 months before and 5 months after renal transplantation in an ESRF patient with ACKD.
