[Pelvio-ureteral tumor 5 years after uretero-cutaneostomy]

A 70-year-old woman visited our hospital with the chief complaint of intermittent gross hematuria from right ureterocutaneostoma. She had received total cystectomy and bilateral ureterocutaneostomy because of bladder tumor (transitional cell carcinoma, grade 3, stage T2) 5 years earlier. Urine cytology showed transitional cell carcinoma (TCC). The right retrograde pyelogram showed shadow defects of right pelvis and upper ureter, computed tomographic scan showed fatty density mass of right pelvis. Preoperative diagnosis was right pelvic and ureteral tumors. Right nephroureterectomy was performed on May 26, 1986. Histology revealed TCC, grade 3 on the pelvis and upper ureter. Cases of pelvio-ureteral tumors of ureterocutaneostomy were collected from the literature and reviewed.
