Secondary Renal Cell Carcinoma in a Child Treated for Germ Cell Tumor / 대한소아혈액종양학회지

Advances for the treatment of childhood cancer in several decades have remarkably improved long-term survival. Anticancer therapy is capable of causing a variety of delayed toxicities including secondary malignant neoplasm. Therefore close follow-up for secondary malignant neoplasm is important for surviving patients from cancer. Renal cell carcinoma is a rare tumor in childhood and has been reported previously to occur after treatment of a few solid tumors, including neuroblastoma. This report represents the first documented case of renal cell carcinoma arising as a secondary malignant neoplasm in a pediatric patient who previously was treated for germ cell tumor.
