Abstract:
A 72-year-old male was admitted with a chief complaint of anuria. Clinical examinations showed that he was in uremic state and had bilateral hydronephroses. An endoscopic examination revealed a left ureteral tumor and a bladder tumor. Left nephroureterectomy with partial cystectomy and transurethral resection of the bladder tumor were performed. Pathological examinations showed an invasive left renal pelvic tumor (pT3, G3), an invasive left ureteral tumor (pT4, G3), and a bladder tumor (pTis, G3). Following the operation, roentgenological and urinary cytological findings showed a right ureteral carcinoma. He died of multiple liver and bone metastases and local recurrence at 5 months postoperatively.
