We report the case of a 59-year-old male who underwent embolization and computed-tomography-guided radiofrequency ablation of a recurrent renal cell carcinoma that developed after radical nephrectomy in contiguity to the inferior vena cava. The alternative of a new operation was rejected because of the proximity of the tumor to the vessel and percutaneous approach seemed to be the better solution.

Intramedullary spinal cord metastasis (ISCM) is a rare manifestation of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). A 73-year-old man presented with left shoulder pain and left upper extremity weakness for two months.

We report a case of GIN and de novo FSGS in kidney transplant recipients leading to allograft failure. A 69-year-old male with a history of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) of unknown etiology, as well as liver failure from hepatitis B and C co-infection, initially had a living unrelated kidney transplant (LURT) in 2007 and subsequently received both liver and kidney transplants (SLKTs) in 2017.
