Accidental transplantation of bronchial carcinoma from a cadaver donor to two recipients of renal allografts.

Abstract
Malignancy was transferred inadvertently to 2 patients, each of whom received a renal transplant from a cadaver donor who was found at necropsy to have a small, clinically silent carcinoma of lung. Both recipients died with metastatic bronchial carcinoma of the same histological type as the donor''s tumor. The literature on transplanted malignancy is reviewed.
