Description of a clinical case of synchronous cancer in the native and graft kidneys

Abstract

Kidney transplantation is the most frequently performed organ transplant procedure in the world. The occurrence of malignant tumors is one of the well-known late complications of organ transplantation, which is induced by immunosuppressive therapy. In the vast majority of patients, kidney cancer occurs in the native organs; however, in a small percentage of cases, malignancies are found in the graft organ. The article describes a rare clinical case of a patient with synchronous cancer in the native and graft kidneys.
