Abstract

A 61 year-old female kidney transplant recipient developed radiologic and biopsy-confirmed cortical necrosis in her transplant with elevated serum creatinine levels during concurrent chemoradiation therapy for anal squamous cell carcinoma. Acute anatomic and pathologic changes within a transplanted kidney during chemoradiation therapy have not been described previously in the literature. Further research is required to ascertain the potential significance and long-term clinical consequences of such findings.
