We herein report two rare cases of bilateral renal neoplasms associated with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).
Case 1: Bilateral nephrectomy was performed on bilateral renal masses in a 58-year-old man with ADPKD. Case 2: Bilateral nephrectomy was performed on bilateral renal masses in a 32-year-old man with clinically suspected ADPKD. In case 1, angiomyolipoma (AML) and papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC) (type 1) were detected in the bilateral kidneys. In case 2, PRCC (type 1) was detected in the bilateral kidneys.
