Abstract
We report a case of metastatic renal cell carcinoma arising in a cadav er transplant kidney 6 years after transplantation. Due to molecular a nalysis of the tumor tissue we could prove that the carcinoma originat ed from the male donor. After tumor resection and interruption of immu notherapy, the concomitant bone and lymph node metastases resolved wit h alpha-interferon and interleukin-2-based immunotherapy.
