We report a case in which lung metastases disappeared spontaneously after nephroureterectomy from sarcomatoid carcinoma of the renal pelvis. A 58-year-old man presented with gross hematuria. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a left renal tumor and multiple lung metastases. Intravenous pyelography revealed a filling defect in the upper renal calyx. Urine cytology was positive. Left renal pelvic cancer was diagnosed and nephroureterectomy performed. The resected specimen was diagnosed pathologically as sarcomatoid carcinoma of the renal pelvis. Approximately 5 months later, CT revealed that the lung metastases had disappeared. There has been no evidence of disease for 46 months postoperatively.  相似文献

A case of Bellini duct carcinoma is reported. A 70-year-old man visited our hospital because of gross hematuria and left flank pain. Although no abnormality was found on ultrasonography, drip infusion pyecography, computed tomographic scan and cystoscopy. However class IV was suspected based on urinary cytology. Magnetic resonance imaging showed an irregular pattern in the left upper kidney. Ureterscopic biopsy revealed transitional cell carcinoma and class V was suspected on the urinary cytology of the left renal pelvis. Under the preoperative diagnosis of a left renal pelvic tumor, left nephroureterectomy was performed. The histopathological diagnosis with immunohistostaining was Bellini duct carcinoma. No evidence of recurrence or metastasis was noted 9 months after surgery without any adjuvant therapy.  相似文献

Cyclophosphamide is considered to be a bladder carcinogen and there are many reports of secondary bladder cancer, while only a few cases of upper urothelial cancer have been described. A 59-year-old man, who had received cyclophosphamide therapy for malignant lymphoma, was suffering from gross hematuria and consulted our institute. Computerized tomography (CT), intravenous pyelography (IVP) and retrograde pyelography (RP) revealed a left renal pelvic tumor. Urinary cytology showed class V and radical left nephroureterectomy was performed. Histopathological diagnosis of the left renal pelvic tumor was transitional cell carcinoma, invading the renal parenchyma. He is free from recurrence eight months after surgery. To our knowledge, this is the third case of cyclophosphamide-induced upper urothelial carcinoma reported in Japan, and the twelfth reported in the English literature.  相似文献

A case of carcinoma in situ of the renal pelvis in a 70-year-old female is reported. The patient was admitted with the complaints of macrohematuria and left back pain. Urine cytology, which was carried out three times using urine samples collected directly from the urinary bladder proved to be negative. Drip infusion pyelography (DIP) and retrograde pyelography (RP) disclosed stenosis of the left ureter at the level of L3-L4. Selective renal angiography revealed no abnormalities. Based on the DIP and RP findings, the diagnosis of tumor in the left ureter was made, and left total nephroureterectomy with partial cystectomy was performed. The removed kidney showed signs of mild hydronephrosis but no tumor was found macroscopically. The stenosed site of the ureter had scar-like tissue. Microscopic examination revealed that the stenosed ureter consisted of nonspecific granulation tissue but the mucosa of the renal pelvis showed grade III transitional epithelial cell carcinoma, At 24 months after operation, there is no evidence of tumor recurrence, and urine cytology is also negative.  相似文献

A case of synchronous contralateral renal cell carcinoma and ureteral transitional cell carcinoma is reported. A 56-year-old man, who had been incidentally found to have an abnormal mass in the upper pole of the right kidney on ultrasound sonography, was admitted on January 8, 1985. CT scanning and renal arteriography revealed right renal malignancy. Right radical nephrectomy was performed and histological examination showed adenocarcinoma, granular cell type of the right kidney. He was discharged on February 3, 1985. Two months postoperatively, he was rehospitalized for macroscopic hematuria. Left retrograde pyelogram showed obstruction at middle ureter and cytology of urine from left ureter was positive. So a left ureteral tumor was suspected, and partial resection of left ureter and ureteroureterostomy were performed. Histological examination revealed ureteral transitional cell carcinoma. He is now doing well at 6 months following the lat surgery, without any evidence of recurrence.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: To study the usefulness and safety of ureteropyeloscopy in the diagnosis of upper tract hematuria of unknown etiology by standard diagnostic methods. METHODS: Fifteen patients with upper tract hematuria of unknown etiology were the subjects of the present study. Prior to ureteropyeloscopy, they underwent standard diagnostic methods, including cystourethroscopy, excretory urography and computed tomography scan. The upper tract (ureter, renal pelvis and calyces) was inspected systematically with a flexible ureteropyeloscope under epidural anesthesia. A biopsy specimen was obtained when neoplasm of a suspicious lesion was seen. Bleeding and hemangiomatous lesions were fulgurated at the time of ureteropyeloscopy. RESULTS: Unilateral gross hematuria was seen in 12 patients. Imaging studies revealed a filling defect in four patients, ureteral stenosis in one patient and nutcracker phenomenon in one patient. Urine cytology was positive in three patients and suspicious in four patients. Results of ureteropyeloscopy were papillary tumor in three patients, whitish encrustation in one patient, redness of the renal pelvis in one patient, bleeding from the renal calyx in two patients, hemangiomatous lesion in one patient, ureteral stenosis in two patients and no abnormalities in five patients. Biopsies were performed in five patients. The pathology results were transitional cell carcinoma in four patients and no abnormality in one patient. Although a ureteral stent catheter was placed in one patient, no serious complications were encountered during or after the procedures. CONCLUSIONS: Ureteropyeloscopy was useful and relatively safe. This endoscopic examination can differentiate insignificant lesions from significant lesions by visual inspection of the lesions, in addition, pathological diagnosis by biopsy specimen can also be performed if deemed necessary. Ureteropyeloscopy is recommended in the diagnosis of upper tract hematuria of unknown etiology.  相似文献

A case of malakoplakia which co-existed in the kidney and the urinary bladder is reported. The patient was a 51-year-old female who had been suffering from asymptomatic macroscopic hematuria. Cystoscopic examination revealed multiple yellow-red nodules in the posterior and lateral wall of the bladder. Transurethral punch biopsy of the mucosa was performed and histopathological examination of the specimens revealed the diagnosis of malakoplakia. The laboratory data at admission were within normal limits except for slightly accelerated erythrocyte sedimentation rate. The culture of urine was negative. The cytology of urine was interpreted as Papanicolaou class I. Intravenous pyelography demonstrated filling defect of the left upper renal calyx, which was confirmed by retrograde pyelography. Computerized tomography showed dilatation of the left upper calyx. An exploratory operation disclosed that the upper calyceal neck was obstructed by several small nodular lesion, which were very similar to the lesions in the bladder. Because intraoperative pathological diagnosis of the frozen section was malakoplakia, partial nephrectomy was performed. Histopathological examination of the kidney and the bladder showed typical Michaelis-Gutmann bodies in the granulomatous lesions. Follow-up examinations 4 months after operation revealed some residual lesions in the bladder which were treated with bethanechol, but no recurrence in the kidney.  相似文献

A 76-year-old man was seen at this hospital for the treatment of asymptomatic gross hematuria. Retrograde pyelography revealed a filling defect in the left lower calyx. The diagnosis was left renal pelvic carcinoma by urinary cytology. The patient underwent left nephrouretectomy with partial cystectomy. Hemosiderin accumulation on histological examination demonstrated an arteriovenous malformation in the left lower calyx. Transitional cell carcinoma was confirmed apart from the arteriovenous malformation, and no relation between the two was seen. These findings suggest the coexistence of a renal arteriovenous malformation with a renal pelvic and ureteral carcinoma. Hematuria was due probably to rupture of the renal arteriovenous malformation.  相似文献

Bilateral hydronephrosis identified by a local physician brought a 65-year-old man to our hospital. Emergency percutaneous nephrostomy was bilaterally established for obstructive renal failure. After recovering renal function, the patient underwent radical cystectomy under the diagnosis of invasive bladder cancer and the construction of an ileal conduit. The pathology reported well differentiated adenocarcinoma (pT2, pL1, pV1). Five years after the surgery, gross hematuria developed. A computed tomographic scan revealed right hydronephrosis with a solid mass in the upper calyx. The urinary cytology was negative. The patient underwent right nephrectomy in May, 1999. The pathology then revealed well differentiated adenocarcinoma in the renal pelvis and ureter (pT3, pL0, pV0 and pT1, pL0, pV0, respectively). He is alive with mild chronic renal insufficiency with evidence of tumor at ten months after surgery. To our knowledge, this is the first case of metachronous adenocarcinoma of the urinary bladder and the upper urinary tract reported in the Japanese literature.  相似文献

A 46-year-old man was admitted to our hospital complaining of macroscopic hematuria with dull pain in the right flank. Laboratory finding showed renal dysfunction and abdominal ultrasound sonograph revealed bilateral hydronephrosis (right > left). Retrograde pyelography showed left ureteral calculi and a filling defect in the middle portion of the right ureter. Renal function improved after bilateral single-J ureteral stent placement. Selective wash cytology of right renal pelvis was class II. Ureteroscopy demonstrated right ureteral obstruction with smooth-surfaced protruded tumor and cold cup biopsy was performed. Histopathological diagnosis was a fibroepithelial polyp but with no malignancy. In addition, left transurethral lithotripsy was performed under ureteroscopy. After the endoscopic examination, a double pigtail stent inserted into the right ureter. We performed conservative management by repeat urine cytologies and retrograde pyelography due to thrombocytopenia. The urine cytologies all proved negative and retrograde pyelography showed no abnormal changes. A ureteroscopic procedure is considered to be useful for the diagnosis of ureteral polyps. Transurethral resection of ureteral polyps with a ureteroscope is recommended for treatment.  相似文献

A 69-year-old woman was admitted with the chief complaint of gross hematuria and left flank pain ten years after curative right pneumonectomy. Retrograde pyelography showed a filling defect of inferior calyx. Computerized tomography revealed a solid tumor with a low density area arising from the left kidney. The tumor was demonstrated hypovascular by angiography. Left radical nephrectomy by a transabdominal approach was performed. Histological diagnosis was primary transitional cell carcinoma of the left renal pelvis largely replacing the renal parenchyma. Twenty six days after the operation she was discharged. Our case was of double cancer consistent with Warren and Gates criteria and was classified into the nonsimultaneous case according to Moertels criteria. Double cancer of the lung and renal pelvis is very rare and our case seems to be the 7th in the Japanese clinical literature.  相似文献

Angiomyolipoma in the renal pelvis   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
A 54-year-old male presented with massive hematuria with bladder tamponade. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a 7.5 x 6.5 x 4.5 cm. mass centered in the left renal pelvis, which is composed of macroscopic fat and soft-tissue component. Differential diagnosis included liposarcoma, lipoma and angiomyolipoma. Urothelial carcinoma was also undeniable because urine cytology was equivocal. Subsequently, a left nephroureterectomy was performed. Pathological examinations revealed a renal angiomyolipoma protruding into the renal pelvis. We present a rare case of angiomyolipoma in the renal pelvis and review the literature concerning these unusual findings of this common neoplasm.  相似文献

A case of simultaneous bilateral renal pelvic tumors is reported. A 64-year-old man with the chief complaint of gross hematuria and left flank pain was admitted. Clinical investigations revealed a tumor in the right pelvis and ureter, and another tumor in the left renal pelvis. The right ureteral tumor had invaded the bladder. Right nephroureterectomy, total cystectomy, left partial pyelectomy and ureterocutaneostomy were performed. By pathological examination, right renal pelvic and ureteral tumors were non-papillary transitional cell carcinoma, grade 3, pT4, and the left renal pelvic tumor was papillary transitional cell carcinoma, grade 2, pT1. To our knowledge, this is the 16th case of simultaneous bilateral urothelial tumors of the upper urinary tract in Japan.  相似文献

A 73-year-old man presented with gross hematuria. Ultrasonography and computerized tomography showed small bladder tumors and a left renal mass protruding to renal pelvis. Transurethral resection of bladder tumor and ureteroscopic tumor biopsy were performed, and pathological examinations revealed transitional cell carcinoma in the bladder and renal cell carcinoma in the kidney. He underwent left radical nephrectomy. A 4-month postoperative cystoscopy revealed a solitaly non-papillary tumor in the bladder. Transurethral resection was performed and pathological diagnosis was metastasis from renal cell carcinoma. At that time, multiple metastases to ureteral stump and lung were found. He had undergone palliative treatment because of his poor general condition until he died 26 months postoperatively. Care should be taken for management of ureteral stump when diagnostic ureteroscopy was done for renal cell carcinoma invading the renal pelvis.  相似文献

We report a case of carcinosarcoma of the renal pelvis and ureter arising in an 89-year-old man who presented at our hospital with gross hematuria. Abdominal computed tomography, excretory pyelography, and retrograde pyelography demonstrated that left hydronephrosis was caused by an ureteral tumor. Left urine cytology indicated transitional cell carcinoma. The patient underwent chemotherapy and radiation therapy. However, gross hematuria recurred, and the patient underwent left nephroureterectomy. The surgical specimen showed carcinosarcoma in the renal pelvis and ureter histologically. He has been free of cancer for 1.5 years.  相似文献

A 44-year-old female was admitted because of gross hematuria six years after beginning hemodialysis for chronic renal failure. There was a past history of hematuria one year before admission. Retrograde pyelography, computed tomographic scan and angiography had been performed, and a probable malignant tumor of left renal pelvis had been found in 1986. We recommended surgery at the time, but she refused treatment and was followed up. On June 22, 1987, the patient had a second attack of gross hematuria resulting in bladder tamponade, and hematuria from the left ureteric orifice was confirmed at cystoscopy. Ultrasound showed left obstructive nephropathy. Left nephrectomy was performed because of the presumptive diagnosis of malignant tumor. The histological diagnosis was transitional cell carcinoma of the left renal pelvis. Two courses of M-VAC (methotiexate, vinblastine, adriamycin and cisplatin) chemotherapy were accordingly given postoperatively. The incidence of renal pelvic tumor and its chemotherapy in patients with chronic renal failure are discussed.  相似文献

An unusual case of 2 concurrent primary renal tumors within the same kidney is reported. A 70-year-old woman presented with gross hematuria when she was in the hospital for cerebral infarction. Excretory urography revealed a marked expansion of the right kidney with no renal function. CT scan showed a mass arising from the right kidney, the hydronephrotic right renal pelvis, and a mass in the lower right ureter. Selective renal angiogram showed marked neovascularity of the mass. There was an encasement of the intrarenal artery to the lower pole. Angiographic findings were highly suggestive of a renal cell carcinoma with a second neoplasm in the renal pelvis. Subsequently, the patient underwent right radical nephroureterectomy and partial cystectomy. Section of the removed specimen revealed a 4.0 X 3.8 cm solid tumor confined to the kidney in the upper pole and a transitional cell carcinoma arising from the renal pelvis. In addition, transitional cell carcinoma was present in the distal ureter.  相似文献

A 68-year-old male presented to our hospital complaining of gross hematuria. Intravenous pyelography subsequently demonstrated a left non-visualized kidney, and he was admitted for further evaluation. Cystoscopy revealed a bladder tumor around the left ureteral orifice and retrograde pyelography showed a filling defect in the left renal pelvis. The urinary cytology from the left renal pelvis indicated class IV, and the microscopic findings of a bladder biopsy demonstrated grade 1 transitional cell carcinoma. We performed transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TUR-BT) followed by left nephroureterectomy with bladder cuff. The pathological diagnosis was high grade transitional cell carcinoma with choriocarcinomatous component. After the operation, the serum human chorionic gonadotropin-beta (hCG-beta) level was slightly elevated, and the combination chemotherapy with methotrexate, vinblastine and cisplatin (MVC) was administered. Although the serum hCG-beta level fell to 0.1 ng/ml, after two courses of MVC chemotherapy, bilateral pulmonary metastases appeared in the chest X-ray with increasing hCG-beta levels. Salvage chemotherapy with cisplatin, etoposide and bleomycin (PEB) was performed. After two courses of PEB chemotherapy, the serum hCG-beta level fell to within the normal range and all pulmonary metastases disappeared.  相似文献

A case of renal pseudoaneurysm which occurred as a complication of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) for right renal staghorn calculi is presented. A 59-year-old man, who previously had left nephrectomy due to renal staghorn calculi and right pyelolithotomy due to renal calculi, was admitted to our hospital for treatment of recurrent right renal staghorn calculi on March 29, 1990. Laboratory data on admission revealed no significant abnormality except for a mild elevation on blood glucose (116 mg/dl). Pseudomonas aeruginosa (10(6) CFU/ml) was cultured from urine. Preoperative plain abdominal film showed right partial staghorn calculi extending to the lower calyx and pelvis. Three sessions of PNL were performed. Two nephrostomy tubes were placed in the upper and middle calyces at the first session. Although all calculi were removed completely, massive renal bleeding with bladder tamponade occurred several times postoperatively and blood transfusion was necessary. Renal angiography was performed, and it was demonstrated renal pseudoaneurysm at the upper nephrostomy tract. At the same time the pseudoaneurysm was treated by superselective embolization with an absorbable gelatin sponge. We reviewed the related literature on complications of PNL. Etiology and treatment of a renal vascular injury associated with PNL are also discussed.  相似文献

Extremely rarely renal cell carcinoma metastasizes to the contralateral renal pelvis or ureter. A 42-year-old man had undergone left radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma (pT1b, grade 2) in March, 2000. Fifteen months later, he complained of macroscopic hematuria. Computed tomographic scanning and retrograde pyelography showed a right renal pelvic tumor. Enucleation of pelvic tumor was performed and a parenchyma mass incidentally identified in the right kidney was also resected. Histopathological examination of each tumor revealed renal cell carcinoma identical to the primary tumors in the left kidney suggesting metastasis to renal pelvis and de novo tumor or metastasis in the right kidney.  相似文献
