What is it about?
We present a rare case of Evans syndrome associated with clear cell renal cell carcinoma, in which the patient showed rapid restoration of blood cell count and durable complete remission of Evans syndrome after resection of the renal tumor.

Why is it important?
A thorough examination led to the diagnosis of Evans syndrome. We hypothesized that our patient's initial hematological manifestation was a paraneoplastic phenomenon associated with her underlying malignancy. This rare case illustrates the unique relationship between renal neoplasm and the development of paraneoplastic Evans syndrome.
Perspectives
Paraneoplastic syndromes (PNS) are defined by a set of clinical, radiological or biological signs associated with a neoplasia, irrespective of its location. Cancer patients, particularly those at an advanced stage, may present with a variety of hematological manifestations, but Evans syndrome is a rare PNS in malignant solid tumors. We present a rare case of Evans syndrome revealing to clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
