    Abstract:
    We report a case of transitional cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis with extremely high serum levels of carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). A 69-year-old woman was admitted with gross hematuria. Imaging diagnosis revealed a tumor in the left renal pelvis and multiple liver and bone metastases. Serum levels of CA19-9 and CEA were 2,557 U/ml (normal < 36) and 523 ng/ml (normal < 3.8), respectively. She died of cancer progression 3 weeks after admission. An autopsy diagnosis was transitional cell carcinoma of the left renal pelvis. No abnormal findings were recognized in the gastrointestinal organs. Cancer cells showed a positive immunohistochemical staining for both CA19-9 and CEA.
