Core Tip	Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and hematologic malignancies (HM) in the same patient is rare. We report the common characteristics of 9 patients diagnosed with concurrent RCC and HM and their clinical course and treatment response. None of the patients was treated with cytotoxic chemotherapy or radiation between the diagnosis of RCC and HM. Several features in our series strengthen the immune dysregulation theory as the likely mechanism. Long-term medical surveillance is warranted when a patient is diagnosed with RCC or HM. Clinicians should be aware that either of these conditions may be diagnosed first or they may be diagnosed simultaneously.
