Renal schwannoma is a very infrequent tumor. It is usually benign and it does not have any specific symptoms or imaging characteristics. Its final diagnosis is usually made after surgery. We present a 66 year-old-man that was referred to our center after the casual finding of a renal mass. With a suspected diagnosis of a renal cell carcinoma, a partial nephrectomy was performed. The histological study revealed the final diagnosis of a benign renal schwannoma.
Due to their immunosuppressed status, solid organ transplant recipients are a special group of patients with an incidence of bladder cancer greater than the rest of the population, especially in the first 6 years after transplantation. Also, treatment with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin, a reference therapy in nonmuscle invasive high-risk bladder cancer, may be less effective in this group of patients and could cause more adverse effects. However, the data published so far and the experience initiated in the Virgen de la Arrixaca Clinical University Hospital do not support these hypotheses.
