Abstract:
The synchronous presentation of two separate neoplasms is extremely unusual. In 1921, Graves and Temleton first discovered synchronous two neoplasms in the same kidney. However, almost all reported synchronous tumors arising in a same kidney have been renal cell carcinoma and transitional cell carcinoma. We report a case report of a synchronous renal cell carcinoma and adult Wilms' tumor in a same kidney in a 41-year-old woman which was managed by radical nephrectomy and combination chemotherapy.
