  • Title: [A case of transitional cell carcinoma presenting as rupture of a renal arteriovenous malformation].
    Author: Ueno Y, Mizusawa H, Ishizuka O, Igawa Y, Nisizawa O, Uehara T.
    Journal: Hinyokika Kiyo; 1999 Oct; 45(10):707-9. PubMed ID: 10586364.
    Abstract:
    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.
