Conservative endourological treatment of transitional cell carcinoma of renal pelvis and ureter is controversial. The treatment should be reserved for selected cases and for low grade, low stage, monofocal tumors. Personal experience with endourological treatment of a transitional cell carcinoma of the lower tract of the ureter is presented.

Malignancies can trigger an autoimmune response against the nervous system and manifest as paraneoplastic neurological syndromes (PNS). Initial symptoms of PNS may develop up to 5 years prior to the diagnosis of the underlying malignancy. We report a rare case of PNS associated with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder in a 70-year-old male with a 6-month history of rapidly progressive symmetric sensory neuropathy. Peripheral neuropathy serological workup was unremarkable. A paraneoplastic neuropathy panel revealed anti-Hu autoantibodies. Further evaluation with a whole-body PET scan could not identify the primary malignancy, but it showed hypermetabolic hilar lymph nodes. An endobronchial ultrasound biopsy of the hilar lymph nodes was negative for cancer. The patient developed painless hematuria 2.5 years after the onset of the sensory neuropathy. Cystoscopy with biopsy revealed non-muscle-invasive transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. Progression of the sensory neuropathy stopped after tumor resection. This case highlights the importance of a diligent and systematic approach to diagnose PNS. A relentless search is often required to detect PNS-associated occult malignancies.

Abstract Microcystic transitional cell carcinoma is a rare variant of urothelial carcinoma; to date, it has been described only in the urinary bladder. We report 2 cases of microcystic transitional cell carcinoma arising in the renal pelvis. The first case occurred in a 73-year-old man with a history of superficially invasive transitional cell carcinoma who presented with macroscopic hematuria and anemia. The second case occurred in a 62-year-old woman who had no relevant medical history and presented with hematuria. Computed tomographic scan revealed a tumor of the renal pelvis. In both cases, microscopic examination showed invasive transitional cell carcinoma with prominent cystic features. The cysts were irregular in size and were deeply infiltrative. The cysts were lined by single or multiple layers of cuboidal or flattened cells with minimal cytological atypia. The first patient died of his disease 18 months after presentation. The second patient remained well at her 6-month follow-up examination. Microcystic transitional cell carcinoma is an unusual, deceptively bland variant of urothelial carcinoma, which can mimic benign lesions.
