Renal cell cancer in solitary kidney after donor nephrectomy.
The occurrence of renal cell carcinoma in the solitary remnant kidney after donor nephrectomy is rare and, to our knowledge, has not been previously reported. We encountered 2 such patients in whom cancer occurred 19 and 40 years after the donation. Both patients underwent successful partial nephrectomy for the tumor using two different techniques.
