Kidney transplantation is the most frequently performed organ transplant procedure in the world. The occurrence of malignant tumors is one of the well-known late complications of organ transplantation, which is induced by immunosuppressive therapy. In the vast majority of patients, kidney cancer occurs in the native organs; however, in a small percentage of cases, malignancies are found in the graft organ. The article describes a rare clinical case of a patient with synchronous cancer in the native and graft kidneys.
