Renal cell carcinoma in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.

Fasting in a 16-year-old girl at-risk of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common form of inherited kidney disease that results in renal failure. PKD currently has no causative therapy. However, some treatment options are available, ranging from symptomatic therapy to delaying the onset of end-stage renal failure. Early diagnosis of adult polycystic kidney disease is vital in order to prevent its complic...

The Clinical Association of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease and renal cell Carcinoma

Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is not currently considered to be a risk factor for renal cell carcinoma (RCC). We present data from our institution demonstrating incidence of RCC with ADPKD above the incidence rate for RCC in the general population, as well as that in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The discussion relates our findings in the context of the cu...

Bilateral renal cell carcinoma in a patient with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is very rare. Only 11 cases of bilateral RCC in ADPKD have been reported since 1954. Herein, we present a 58-year-old male who received laparoscopic bilateral radical nephrectomy for bilateral RCC with different cell variants in ADPKD and end-stage renal disease under regular hemodialysis.

Sorting the Alphabet Soup of Renal Pathology: A Review.

Diseases of the kidney often have their names shortened, creating an arcane set of acronyms which can be confusing to both radiologists and clinicians. This review of renal pathology aims to explain some of the most commonly used acronyms within the field. For each entity, a summary of the clinical features, pathophysiology, and radiological findings is included to aid in the understanding and ...

Incidental renal cell carcinoma presenting in a renal transplant recipient with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease: a case report

INTRODUCTION We report an instructive case of incidental renal cell carcinoma in a patient with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease who underwent simultaneous bilateral native nephrectomy and living donor renal transplantation. CASE PRESENTATION A 57-year-old Asian man with end-stage kidney disease due to autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease received a living kidney graft fro...
