Abstract:

A 35-year female otherwise healthy patient 2 years after renal transplantation underwent routine ultrasound examination which revealed two solid lesions within transplanted kidney. The transplantation was performed due to end-stage renal disease caused by chronic glomerulonephritis. The patient received graft from unknown cadaveric donor, the surgery was uneventful. After transplantation the patient received maintenance immunosuppression in form of combination of tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil. The patient was referred to MR imaging which confirmed presence of two solid lesions in transplanted kidney showing different radiologic features. The performed biopsy confirmed malignant character of both of them - first lesion was lymphoma and second RCC which was removed through NSS. No other lesions were revealed. The allograft was not removed. After surgery the patient received further treatment.
