title: [Recurrence of transitional cell carcinoma in bilateral upper urinary tracts and ileal conduit with invasion in the abdominal wall around nephrostomy after total cystectomy: a case report].
abstract: A case of recurrence of transitional cell carcinoma in bilateral upper urinary tracts and ileal conduit with invasion in the abdominal wall around nephrostomy after total cystectomy is presented. A 33-year-old man with right nephrostomy, after total cystectomy, construction of ileal conduit, bilateral partial ureterectomy and left nephrectomy for transitional cell carcinoma at another hospital was referred to our hospital because of further recurrence in the right renal pelvis and ileal conduit. He had had left nephrostomy before the left nephrectomy was performed. Right nephrectomy and total extirpation of ileal conduit were performed and hemodialysis was started from the day after the operation. However, several weeks later, transitional cell carcinoma was detected pathologically in the left abdominal wall around the left nephrostomy which had been inserted. The renal pelvis was inferred to have leaked urine around the nephrostomy and invasion arose in this region. After radiation therapy he was discharged but he died from recurrence of carcinoma 9 months after the operation. After total cystectomy, examinations by percutaneous puncture of the renal pelvis are very effective for evidence of recurrence in the upper urinary tract. However, we emphasize that the percutaneous technique carries the risk of tumor invasion through the percutaneous urinary tract.
