| Core Tip |
Urothelial carcinoma (UC) is a common malignancy in the urinary system, and typically grows from multiple foci. UC is most common in the bladder, and upper urinary tract UC (UTUC) is rare. We describe a male who initially presented at a local hospital in 2015 at the age of 70 years with a complaint of painless hematuria. The doctors diagnosed UTUC of the right renal pelvis. After radical nephroureterectomy and bladder cuff excision, the doctors recommended intravesical chemotherapy and regular follow-up, but he rejected this advice. He presented at our hospital again with dysuria in 2016. We identified UC in the residual bladder and performed radical cystectomy and left cutaneous ureterostomy. Unfortunately, he presented again with urethral orifice bleeding in 2021, and we identified urethral UC as the cause. We thus administered radical urethrectomy. Since this last surgery, he has received regular 6-mo follow-ups and has remained in a stable condition. Treatment for upper UTUC should include adjuvant instillation as immunotherapy and intense surveillance. |
