    Abstract:
    A rare case of ureteral stump metastasis 3 months after nephrectomy for a renal cell carcinoma is presented. A 62-year-old female had undergone right radical nephrectomy 3 months earlier because of renal cell carcinoma in our hospital, and she came back due to gross hematuria. Cystoscopy revealed a papillary mass with a vascular pedicle protruding from the right ureteral orifice. Transurethral resection of the bladder tumor over right ureteral orifice was performed and the pathologic result showed clear cell adenocarcinoma, which argued in favor of a metastatic lesion from the previous renal cell carcinoma. Ureterectomy and a bladder cuff excision were then adopted for this patient, but no residual tumor was found over the remaining ureter. Nevertheless, the patient died of cancer 36 months after the event of ureteral stump metastasis.
