AB  - Large renal cell carcinomas (RCC) arising in allograft 
kidney transplants are rarely encountered. The distinct 
RCC sub-type, clear cell papillary RCC (CP-RCC), has 
mostly been described in non-immunosuppressed patients. 
Here we report the presentation, management and pathologic diagnosis of a large (11.2 cm, pT2b), multifocal, 
CP-RCC in a poorly functioning renal allograft of a 
63-year-old woman 19 years following kidney transplant. 
Preoperative angiographic kidney embolization was 
successfully performed prior to allograft nephrectomy, 
with an excellent surgical, oncologic and clinical outcome.
