Renal immunoblastic sarcoma complicating immunosuppressive therapy for Wegener granulomatosis.

G R Sant, A A Ucci, E M Meares.   

Abstract

A renal tumor developing in a patient receiving cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) therapy for Wegener granulomatosis is reported. The tumor was similar histologically to the "immunoblastic" sarcoma that develops in renal allograft recipients as a complication of immunosuppressive therapy. This case report strengthens the cause and effect relationship between immunosuppressive drug usage and the subsequent development of neoplasia.
