Abstract

Hematological malignancies with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) are rarely seen. We reported here two cases of coincidence of RCC with multiple myeloma (MM) and Hodgkin’s disease (HD). A 69-year-old male patient with tumor that was located at the upper pole of left kidney was admitted to our clinic. Partial tumoral resection was perfomed and stage-I RCC was diagnosed after the histopathological examination of tumor. Moreover, he was diagnosed with IgG kappa stage-IIA MM as a result of bone marrow examination and serum immunofixation electrophoresis. Radiotherapy, combination chemotherapy, and autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) were performed. The patient is still alive who achieve a complete remission. A 53-year-old male patient suffered from cervival lymphadenopathy. He has a story of right radical nefrectomy that has been performed 4 years ago. Stage II-B lymphocyte-predominant HD was diagnosed. Combination chemotherapy was started, but relapse occurred 25 months later. ASCT was not planned due to cardiovascular problems and the patient died. Clinicans should keep in mind the coincidence of RCC with MM and HD.
