Popis: Patients who receive solid organ transplants are at higher risk for developing cancer, which is attributable to chronic immune suppression. Less than 8 cases of metastatic RCC (mRCC) have been reported until now. The aim of this article is to present the case of a 77-year-old male with mRCC of the native kidney and discuss treatment options including targeted therapy, which appears to be the treatment of choice, even in the era of immunotherapy.
