Abstract:
The case of a female patient with recurrent macroscopic hematuria and negative vesical and renal ultrasonography, is discussed. On urography a gross pyelocaliceal filling defect was visualized. Urographic findings were suggestive of the diagnosis of transitional cell carcinoma of the upper urinary. CT was performed to confirm the diagnosis and stage the tumor: it showed the presence of an advanced lesion. At histology the diagnosis of transitional cell carcinoma of the upper urinary tract was confirmed.
