	abstract = {Background: Although rare, renal cell carcinoma has been found during renal recovery for cadaveric organ transplantation. Previously, we reported this incidence to be 0.9\%. In one cadaveric donor, the liver and left kidney had been transplanted before the discovery of renal cell carcinoma (T1) in the right kidney.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of two patients who had received cadaveric allografts from a donor with a known renal cell carcinoma.

Results: Both patients have been followed for 4 years with blood chemistries and chest x-ray every 3 months for year 1, every 4 months for years 2 and 3, and every 6 months thereafter. They also underwent allograft ultrasound every 6 months and an annual CT scan of the abdomen. Both patients have shown no evidence of metastatic disease throughout their follow-up.

Discussion: In the rare instance that a patient receives an organ from a cadaveric donor with a known renal cell carcinoma, it is mandatory to follow these patients closely observing for both allograft recurrence and metastatic disease.},
