Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 31
Abstract
Incidence of malignancy is 2-31% in patients who had renal transplant. Due to advances in immunosuppression the incidence of graft versus host reaction and rejection of transplant are rare. Due to increase in survival of immune suppressed transplant patients, they are prone for acute immune disorders, infections and malignancies. Literature on cancer after kidney transplantation is limited. The incidence of malignancies in recipients of kidney transplantation patients is higher compared to general population. We report a case of 38 yrs old female renal transplant recipient who presented to us with carcinoma cervix. She had a very aggressive disease and rapid progression of malignancy in spite of aggressive treatment. Here we are discussing this case of renal transplant patient with cervical carcinoma with the review of literature about the incidence, pathogenesis and clinical behavior of cervical carcinoma in immunocompromised renal transplant recipients.
