Summary:
Backgrounds: In patients after renal transplantation as in other transplant patients exists a higher risc of various malignancies. Authors present two cases of chromophobe carcinoma in native kidney in patients after cadaveric kidney transplantation.
Materials and methods: Two patients – one man and one woman followed-up regularly after kidney transplantation, in whom atypic expansion of native kidney was found. In both cases a radical transperitoneal nephrectomy was performed.
Results: Both tumors were chromophobe carcinomas and organ confined (T2 N0 M0), graft function is still stable, there was no need of imunosuppression withdrawal.
Conclusions: Early treatment of tumor arising after organ transplantation is possible, but only if early diagnosis is performed. Treatment could be radical enough and there isn‘t a necessity of
imunosuppression scheme alteration, not to threaten the graft. Close cooperation among different specialities is needed. These finding match to current literature statements.
