Abstract
Introduction Diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma in cases with polycystic kidney diseases may be difficult and often delayed despite the use of contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging [...]
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is one of the best-known genetic diseases. Almost half of the patients with ADPKD will develop end-stage renal disease, and the majority of patients are treated with renal transplantation. The current study presents a case that developed papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC) in the native right kidney 10 years after renal transplantation. PRCC is a not common malignant tumour entity (18.5% of all cases of renal cell carcinoma) compared with common clear cell renal carcinoma (65-70% of all cases of RCC). Key words: papillary renal cell carcinoma, autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, renal transplantation, incidental case
