Abstract
-
The development of renal cell carcinoma in auto-sornal dominant polycystic kidney disease
hemodialyzed was rarely found. A sixty-six year old man has been hemodialyzed for four years.
His end-stage renal failure was caused by autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.
He presented the sudden onset of gross hematuria which does not cause any pain. Radi-ological
examination showed the possibility of renal cell carcinoma in autosomal dominant polycystic
kidney disease. The renal cell carcinoma was confirmed through nephrectomy and pathological
examination. In this article, we present a case of renal cell carcinoma in autosomal dominant
polycystic kidney disease hemodialyzed.
