Abstract

The authors report the case of a 49-year-old, insulin-dependent diabetic man treated by double kidney-pancreas transplantation. A T3, N3, M0 testicular tumour was discovered at the 8th month and treated by inguinal orchidectomy and 2 courses of chemotherapy. Immunosuppressant treatment was decreased without any consequences for the transplants. Seven years later, the patient was cured but still treated by haemodialysis for chronic rejection of the renal transplant. The pancreatic transplant was still functional and the patient is waiting for a second renal transplantation.
