The coexistence of two malignancies is rarely seen. A little association between hematologic malignancies especially multiple myeloma and renal cell carcinoma has been reported in the recent past. Several case series revealed a bidirectional association between these two malignancies which may be due to the common risk factors, similar cytokine growth requirements and clinical presentation. Here, we aim to describe a patient who had multiple myeloma and in his work up renal cell carcinoma was found out incidentally. We would like to create awareness among clinicians for the coincidence of Renal cell carcinoma and Multiple myeloma.
两种恶性肿瘤并存的情况很少见。最近有报道称血液系统恶性肿瘤尤其是多发性骨髓瘤与肾细胞癌之间存在些许关联。几个病例系列显示这两种恶性肿瘤之间存在双向关联,这可能是由于共同的风险因素、相似的细胞因子生长需求和临床表现所致。在此,我们旨在描述一名患有多发性骨髓瘤的患者,在其检查过程中偶然发现了肾细胞癌。我们希望提高临床医生对肾细胞癌和多发性骨髓瘤并存情况的认识。
