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.This publication has 19 references indexed in Scilit:
