Abstract

Renal cancer accounts for about 2% of all cancers in general population. One of the risk factors is acquired cystic kidney disease developed in course of end- stage renal failure. About 2% of cases of renal cancer are associated with inherited syndromes. We present here the case of 18-year old boy with papillary bilateral renal cell carcinoma, which was found 3 years after renal transplantation, in the stage of graft failure, few days after graphtectomy, while looking for the reason of persistent fever.
