Transplantation. 1999 Nov 27;68(10):1608-10. doi: 10.1097/00007890-199911270-00030.

Abstract

We report a new case of renal carcinoma in allograft kidney, 5 years after transplantation, which presented as a suspect allograft abscess in a complex history of recurrent urinary infection. Only surgical management with peroperative histological evaluation permitted us to confirm the diagnosis of malignancy.
