Abstract:
A 48-year-old man with histories of IgA nephropathy for 33 years, hemodialysis for 29 years, and a kidney transplant from a deceased donor 5 years ago was admitted to our institute complaining of high fever and back pain. Although repeated follow-up of computed tomography failed to detect any de novo issues, he was eventually diagnosed as a renal cell carcinoma with multiple metastases, developing from his native-acquired cystic disease kidney with multiple cysts using a positron emission tomography. We should be cautious of de novo renal cell carcinoma in kidney transplantation recipients, and careful follow-up might be helpful to detect it.
