Abstract
- Renal cell carcinoma has been recognized for several years as a relatively common cause of paraneoplastic syndromes. Fever, polycythemia, hypercalcemia, amyloidosis, abnormal liver function, Cushing's syndrome and neuropathy have been ostm frequently reported in association with renal cell carcinoma, but leukemoid reactions have been reported only rarely with this tumor. Recently we experienced a leukemoid reaction in a 64-year old female patient who presented with an advanced case of renal cell carcinoma. According to the literature the mortality is 100% with leukemoid reactions in renal cell carcinoma, and indeed this patient expired. We therefore, consider this reaction as a late manifestation of a bizzare presentation of renal cell carcinoma.
