Abstract
- Incidence of adenocarcinoma of the kidney in long-term hemodialysis is higher than in the general group. Although renal cancers occuring in dialysis patients are often small and asymptomatic, some patients present with cutaneous, visceral, or skeletal metastasis. We report a case of adenocarcinoma of the kidney in chronic hemodialysis patient. A 36-year-old male was diagnosed as chronic renal failure 6 years ago and then had been recieving hemodialysis. Renal tumor and multiple renal cysts were incidentally found in right kidney by renal ultrasonography and abdominal CT scanning. Radical nephrectomy was done and pathologic diagnosis was renal cell carcinoma and multiple simple renal cysts.
