Abstract :

Upper urinary tract tumour is relatively rare urological nepoplasm. Most of these tumours are transitional cell carcinomas. Recurrent transitional cell carcinoma of renal pelvis in contralateral kidney is rare. The incidence of upper urinary tract tumour after primary bladder cancer is only one to four percent.[1] We are reporting an interesting case of right renal pelvic tumour recurring after treatment of left ureteric tumour. 73 year old male on ileal conduit following left nephroureterectomy and radical cystectomy. He presented with hematuria. Excretary urography or CECT could not be performed due to presence of renal impairment. Retrograde pyeloureterogram done noninvasively delineated the tumour in this patient. Ureteropyeloscopy combined with cytology and biopsy is diagnostic in upper urinary tract tumours. Our patient was treated palliatively due to his poor general condition and presence of renal impairment. Among ureteral tumors, distal tumors are more frequent than proximal tumors, with a ratio of 70:20:10 for the distal, middle, and proximal ureter, respectively. [3]
