LIN, C. T.; CHA, T. L.; WU, S. T.  y  CHUANG, F. P.. Acute fulminant colon cancer metastasis after renal transplantation. Rev. esp. enferm. dig. [online]. 2010, vol.102, n.7, pp.447-448. ISSN 1130-0108.

We report a 52-year-old male with no family history of colonic cancer, who was found to have advanced colonic cancer with metastases two months post renal transplantation. With this case, we highlight the possibility of acute fulminant cancer metastases within short period after renal transplantation and the importance of periodic colorectal cancer screening pre-transplant. To our knowledge, this case is not yet reported in the literature, especially with such presentation of acute fulminant colonic cancer metastases post renal transplantation.
