Abstract

Patients with end stage renal disease who require chronic dialysis show a significantly increased risk of developing renal cell carcinomas, with a demonstrated incidence of 0.22-1.5%. Despite these impressive data, monitoring of patients with chronic renal failure is only briefly mentioned in the literature and there is only one report in korea. Herein, we report three cases of renal cell carcinomas developing in patients with chronic renal failure with a brief review of literature.
