Abstract
A 57-year-old woman with nephropathy following a streptococcal infecti on had received a kidney transplant in 1980 and 1986 and immunosuppres sive treatment since 1980. Renal cell carcinoma was found in the right native kidney in 1991, with skeletal metastases. Nephrectomy was perf ormed and radiotherapy given. Removal of nonfunctioning kidneys would prevent development of such cancer.
