Nephron-sparing surgery for adenocarcinoma in a renal allograft. Case Rep Urol; 2012:692986http://hdl.handle.net/10668/837Journal Article;The incidence of malignant tumors in recipients of renal allografts is higher than in the general population. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for 4.6% of the tumors in transplanted patients; of them, only 10% are found in transplanted kidneys. Transplantectomy has always been the usual treatment. However, during the last years, nephron-sparing surgery of the allograft is more frequently done in well-selected cases, and therefore dialysis can be avoided. We report the case of a 37-year-old female patient with renal transplant, diagnosed with a 4.5 cm tumor in the lower pole of the renal allograft. The patient underwent partial nephrectomy successfully. Six years after surgery, there is no evidence of recurrence of the disease and the patient maintains an adequate renal function.enNeoplasias RenalesTrasplante de RiñónNefrectomíaFemeninoTrasplante HomólogoCarcinoma de Células RenalesResultado del TratamientoMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Neoplasms::Neoplasms by Site::Urogenital Neoplasms::Urologic Neoplasms::Kidney NeoplasmsMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Therapeutics::Renal Replacement Therapy::Kidney TransplantationMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Surgical Procedures, Operative::Urogenital Surgical Procedures::Urologic Surgical Procedures::NephrectomyMedical Subject Headings::Check Tags::FemaleMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Surgical Procedures, Operative::Transplantation::Transplantation, HomologousMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Neoplasms::Neoplasms by Histologic Type::Neoplasms, Glandular and Epithelial::Carcinoma::Adenocarcinoma::Carcinoma, Renal CellMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Diagnosis::Prognosis::Treatment Outcomeresearch article22848857open access10.1155/2012/6929862090-6978PMC3405562
