Renal cell carcinoma in a transplanted kidney: successful organ-preserving procedure.
We report a case of a de novo renal cell carcinoma in a transplanted kidney, which was detected 3 years after the transplantation. The tumor was excised under hypothermia and perfusion. Immunosuppression was not stopped and the function remained excellent. Close-mesh follow-up of 45 months showed no evidence or recurrence or metastasis.
