Objective:
Although it is not the treatment of choice, conservative surgery by segmental resection of the ureter has achieved very good results in a patient with transitional cell carcinoma of the ureter. These results prompted us to report on the present case.
Methods/Results:
Diagnosis was fundamentally by IVP. Treatment by partial resection of the ureter achieved good results as shown by the postoperative control evaluation and follow up.
Conclusions:
Although nephroureterectomy continues to be the treatment of choice in transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary tract, conservative treatment (endoscopic resection of the tumor) may achieve good results in some selected cases. If conservative surgery is performed, the patient must be followed very closely using urine cytology, IVP or ureteroscopy.
