  • Title: Solitary ureteral metastases of renal cell carcinoma.
    Author: Zorn KC, Orvieto MA, Mikhail AA, Lotan T, Gerber GS, Shalhav AL, Steinberg GD.
    Journal: Urology; 2006 Aug; 68(2):428.e5-7. PubMed ID: 16904477.
    Abstract:
    Metachronous presentation of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) to the ureter is extremely rare. We report a solitary metachronous metastatic RCC in the contralateral ureter 14 months after right radical nephrectomy for Fuhrman grade 2 pT3a clear cell disease after the patient re-presented with gross hematuria. The proximal left ureteral lesion was excised followed by ileal-ureteral interposition. Pathologic examination confirmed metastatic RCC. To date, only 51 cases of metastatic RCC to the ureter have been reported, with only 6 occurring metachronously in the contralateral ureter. Also, we report the presence of focal extramedullary hematopoiesis occurring within this metastatic lesion.
