Transitional Cell Carcinoma of the Renal Pelvis With Synchronous Ipsilateral Papillary Renal Cell Carcinoma: Case Report and Review

Urology Case Reports
Giuseppe MucciardiCarlo Magno

Abstract

Diagnosis of synchronous primary genitourinary tumors are uncommon. Thus far, about 50 cases of synchronous renal tumors have been reported in the literature. We present for the first time a case of a 83-year-old man presenting in the same kidney two separate primary malignancies, a TCC of the renal pelvis and a papillary renal cell carcinoma Type 1. Considered the increased incidence of genitourinary tumors, in presence of a small renal tumor with hematuria, in our opinion, is necessary to pay attention to the diagnostic phase for the chance to highlight an urothelial cancer.
