Renal cell carcinoma and acquired cystic disease of the kidneys in a patient on long term haemodialysis

ABSTRACT

A 65-year-old male Sudanese with end stage disease renal failure [ESRD] on regular haemodialysis [HD] for 5 years developed a painful swelling of his left kidney, which increased in size over a short period of time. He is anaemic and has acquired cystic disease of his native kidneys. Surgical removal and histology proved renal cell carcinoma [RCC]. This is the first case to be reported from Sudan, in a series of 350 haemodialysis patients over the last 14 years
