summary

The paper presents the coexistence of papillary renal cell carcinoma and oncocytoma in the left solitary kidney of a patient after right nephrectomy performed eight years ago, because of a cancer of the right kidney. The preoperative examination revealed only the existence of two independent changes of a solid tumor character in the left solitary kidney. Both changes were removed by performing a resection of the biggest one and enucleation the other smaller tumor.
