Squamous cell carcinoma in the native kidney of a renal transplant recipient with urethral deposit – A case report
2013
Abstract We are reporting a case of squamous cell carcinoma of the native kidney in a renal transplant recipient. A 54-year-old gentleman, a renal transplant recipient for three years, presented with flank pain. On evaluation he was found to have a mass in the upper pole of the left native kidney. Renal angiogram was done which showed a functioning transplanted kidney with a large mass arising from the upper pole of the left native kidney. He underwent nephrectomy. The histopathology reported a squamous cell carcinoma. He was given adjuvant radiotherapy to the tumor bed using image guided radiotherapy thereby delivering a differential dose to the high risk areas and preserving the surrounding normal structures. He developed a urethral nodule which was found to be a squamous cell carcinoma. The lesion was excised with clear margins. We present this case because it is rare and to discuss adjuvant management.
