“…Renal transplantation is considered to be the best treatment for end-stage renal disease, which greatly improves the quality of life and prognosis of patients. However, due to the influence of the long-term use of immunosuppressive agents on the human immune system, renal transplantation recipients are more prone to malignant tumors ( 1 ). Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the third most common malignancy in renal transplant recipients after cutaneous tumors and hematopoietic cell diseases ( 2 ).…”

Patients after kidney transplantation have a much higher risk of developing malignant tumors than the general population. And the native kidney is an organ relatively susceptible to malignant tumors after renal transplantation. However, the simultaneous development of bilateral renal tumors is very rare; especially the bilateral native kidneys harbor different pathological types of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). We report a case of a patient who developed malignant tumors in both native kidneys nearly 19 years after renal transplantation. This patient underwent bilateral laparoscopic radical nephrectomy, and postoperative pathological examination showed clear cell RCC on the left native kidney and papillary RCC on the right one. And the early detection and surgical treatment resulted in a good prognosis. The literature related to the diagnosis and treatment of bilateral RCC after renal transplantation is also reviewed.
