title: Erythropoietin-producing renal cell carcinoma arising from autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.
abstract: Erythropoietin (EPO)-producing renal cell carcinomas (RCC) in patients with chronic renal failure secondary to autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) has not previously been reported. We report a case of EPO-producing RCC associated with ADPKD in a 66-year-old woman, and discuss the clinical and radiological findings.
