Abstract

Introduction: The development of primary carcinoma of the ureteral stump after nephrectomy is rare (1%). Herein, we present a case of urothelial carcinoma of the left ureteral stump in a 74-year old man treated by nephrectomy for non-functioning kidney due to renal stone 9 years ago. The patient admitted to our clinic with the complaint of macroscopic hematuria and left flank pain. A suspected mass lesion of approximately 1x1 cm was detected in the left ureteral stump by computerized spiral tomography. Cystoscopy was normal and left ureteroscopy showed papillary tumoral lesions within the ureter. A biopsy specimen was taken by ureteroscopy and pathological examination revealed low grade stage Ta urothelial carcinoma. Ureterectomy was offered but the patient refused operative and other treatment modalities. Although primary carcinoma of the ureteric stump is an extremely rare disease, it should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of hematuria in a patient who has undergone nephrectomy operation.

Özet

Nefrektomi ameliyatı sonrası kalan üreter güdüğünde primer tümör görülmesi oldukça enderdir (%1). Biz burada taşa bağlı işlev görmeyen böbrek tanısı ile dokuz yıl önce yapılan nefrektomi operasyonu sonrası sol üreter güdüğünde görülen ürotelyal kanserli 74 yaşındaki erkek olguyu sunuyoruz. Hasta sol yan ağrısı ve makroskobik hematüri yakınması ile kliniğimize başvurdu. Bilgisayarlı tomografi sol üreter güdüğünde şüpheli yaklaşık 1x1 cm boyutlarındaki tümöral kitlenin olduğunu gösterdi. Sistoskopi normaldi ve sol üreteroskopi üreter içinde papiller tümörel lezyonları gösterdi. Üreteroskopi ile biyopsi alındı ve patoloji incelemesi düşük dereceli evre Ta tümör olduğunu ortaya koydu. Hastaya üreterektomi önerildi ancak hasta operasyon ve diğer tedavi yöntemlerini kabul etmedi. Üreter güdüğünde primer tümör görülmesi oldukça ender olmasına karşın özellikle makroskobik hematüri yakınması ile başvuran ve geçirilmiş nefrektomi öyküsü olan hastaların ayırıcı tanısında üreter güdüğü tümörü olabileceği göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır.
