A patient presented at 29 weeks' gestation with severe hemolytic anemia. She was subsequently
diagnosed as having renal cell carcinoma and had a radical nephrectomy at 31 weeks'

delivery of a healthy infant at term and complete resolution of her anemia. This unusual
presentation of renal cell carcinoma in pregnancy is discussed.
