abstract

the coexistence of two malignancies is rarely seen. a little association between hematologic malignancies especially multiple myeloma and renal cell carcinoma has been reported in the recent past. several case series revealed a bidirectional association between these two malignancies which may be due to the common risk factors, similar cytokine growth requirements and clinical presentation. here, we aim to describe a patient who had multiple myeloma and in his work up renal cell carcinoma was found out incidentally. we would like to create awareness among clinicians for the coincidence of renal cell carcinoma and multiple myeloma.
