Abstract:
Bilateral renal cell carcinoma was discovered in a 36-year-old man who was a prospective living related kidney donor. The prospective recipient was his 44-year-old brother who had had both kidneys removed for renal cell carcinoma. The entity of familial renal cell carcinoma is reviewed, and the management of patients with bilateral renal cell carcinoma is discussed. The need for evaluation of an otherwise closely related family member is emphasized, especially when that individual is a donor candidate for a recipient who has undergone bilateral nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma.
