We report multiple malignancies in four patients with metachronous renal adenocarcinomas. The group of patients includes two women treated for primary breast and ovarian cancer and two men with prostate and colon cancer respectively. The occurrence of renal cancer following these primary solid tumors was not associated with previous treatments. The authors review the literature and discuss pathogenic mechanisms underlying renal cell carcinoma.
