Abstract: | We report a case of concomitant transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) in a circumcaval ureter and invasive bladder cancer. The
diagnosis was based on the findings of excretory urography (IVU) and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT). IVU showed
a typical J-shaped deformity in the dilated right proximal ureteric segment with moderate hydronephrosis and a filling defect
in the renal pelvis, while abdominal CT with contrast showed right hydronephrosis with an intrapelvic tumor. The patient underwent
radical cystoprostatectomy and nephroureterectomy. No recurrence was detected after 12 months of follow-up. |
