Urothelial Carcinoma in an Allograft kidney.

Patients who have been kidney transplanted have an increased risk of developing cancer. This case report presents a rarely described case in which a patient, who had received a kidney transplant from a deceased donor, was diagnosed with disseminated urothelial carcinoma originating from the allograft. After the removal of the allograft and the immunosuppressive treatment, there was regression in the cancer. Unfortunately, it was not a complete regression of the urothelial cancer and the patient died. This case indicates that there is a risk of getting cancer from the transplanted kidney from a deceased donor, but also that the immunosuppressive treatment can contribute to the development of this cancer.

[Diabetic muscle infarction as a rare cause of acute onset leg pain].

Diabetic muscle infarction (DMI) is a rare microvascular complication with spontaneous necrosis of skeletal musculature, most often localised to the thigh. DMI presents as an acute onset of pain in a muscle or muscle group. DMI is probably underdiagnosed because of its rareness and many differential diagnoses, why patients often undergo unnecessary and invasive diagnostic testing. The condition can be diagnosed with magnetic resonance imaging and the treatment is supportive with analgesics, bedrest and glycaemic control. We present two cases of DMI in patients with long-standing Type 1 diabetes.
