Dr. Reeta Dhar, Dr. Shilpi Sahu, Dr. Priyanka Jadhav, Dr. Pooja Gajaria

Abstract :

Primary malignant tumors of the ureter and pelvis are very rare. Even if a tumor arises from these, it is of the urothelial (transitional) type most commonly, followed by squamous cell carcinomas and lastly adenocarcinomas. We are presenting a case of a patient with a non–functioning kidney with an incidental finding of primary mucinous adenocarcinoma of the ureter on histopathological examination of the resected nephrectomy specimen.
