ABSTRACT

Malignancy related to donor after transplantation is a very rare situation that can be classified in two categories. The first is donor cell derived malignancy and the second, most rare, is tumor transmission which include the development of malignancy in a misdiagnosed donor pre-existent solid organ. This condition has good prognosis mainly because of recipient immune response, and patients are treated with explatantion of the graft associated with immunotherapy withdraw. Accordingly, we report two cases of female patients that have received their kidneys and tumors transplanted from the same male donor which DNA analysis confirm the same donor origin. Both patients were treated with the same therapy but different disease presentation.

RESUMO

Neoplasia associada ao transplante de orgãos é uma situacão extremamente rara que pode ser classificada em 2 duas categorias. A primeira quando o tumor se desenvolve da célula do doador após a realização do transplante, e a segunda, mais rara, é a transmissão para o receptor de tumores metastáticos pré-existentes e não diagnosticados do doador. Apesar de rara, esta situação apresenta um bom prognóstico e os pacientes são tratados com a retirada do enxerto e a suspensão da imunossupressão. Neste artigo, relatamos 2 mulheres que foram diagnosticadas com tumores transmitidos pelo mesmo doador do sexo masculino após serem submetidas a transplantes renais, com confirmação da mesma origem tumoral por análise de DNA.
