Exploratory Surgery

We report a case of transitional cell carcinoma of the right renal pelvis mimicking the signs, symptoms and radiological findings of renal tuberculosis (TB). She had been diagnosed initially for urinary tract infection and radiological diagnosis initially was more towards renal TB and urine cytology and cultures were normal. Specific investigations for tuberculosis all showed negative results. But as neoplasia could not be ruled out by ureterorenoscopy due to presence of multiple ureteric strictures, decision was taken for an exploratory surgery. During surgery it was found that there was a tumour in the upper pole of kidney involving the renal pelvis and was found to be papillary transitional cell carcinoma on histopathological examination.

Histological Results

A patient underwent nephroureterectomy for transitional cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis (pT3 G3 N0 M0). After 5 years a CT scan showed a retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy, suspected of being a metastasis. Histological examination of the surgically-removed lymph node showed seminoma. Palpation of the testes was negative. Testicular ultrasonography showed three hypoechoic areas in the right testis. Orchiectomy was subsequently performed and the histological examination of the testis confirmed the presence of seminoma (pT1).

AIMS: To present the rare case of transitional cell carcinoma of the renal pelvic in the region of endemic nephropathy. PATIENT REPORT: A 64-year old man with gigantic urothelial carcinoma in renal pelvis and ureter. Patient underwent right nephrectomy. Hystopathological analysis after right nephrectomy revealed urothelial transitional cell carcinoma, grade III-IV with infiltration of right ureter. After one month, because of the hystopatological findings, patient underwent ureterectomy on the right side. RESULTS: Two years after surgery there are no signs of primary disease or metastasis and the cystoscopy findings are normal. CONCLUSION: Despite the poor prognosis, two years after surgery patient is without signs of primary disease or metastasis.

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.

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.
