We report a case of renal cell carcinoma on maintenance dialysis for chronic renal failure. A 61-year-old male, treated for diabetes mellitus for 20 years, developed diabetic nephropathy and has been put on maintained hemodialysis during the past 2 years. He complained of asymptomatic hematuria. Computed tomographic scan and renal angiography suggested the presence of a malignant neoplasm in his right kidney. He underwent right nephrectomy, and hemodialysis was resumed on the 4th day post operation. Pathologic examination revealed renal cell carcinoma, clear cell type, together with hyalinized glomeruli, where an acquired cystic change was not detected.
