Abstract

A 65-year-old male Sudanese with end stage disease renal failure (ESRD) on regular haemodialysis (HD) for 5 years developed a painful swelling of his left kidney, which increased in size over a short period of time. He is anaemic and has acquired cystic disease of his native kidneys. Surgical removal and histology proved renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
This is the first case to be reported from Sudan, in a series of 350 haemodialysis patients over the last 14 years.
 

Keywords: Haemodialysis (HD), renal cell carcinoma (RCC), acquired cystic kidney disease (ACKD).
