Transitional cell carcinoma of the ureteral stump 23 years after radical nephrectomy for adenocarcinoma.
We report a case of simultaneous invasive transitional cell carcinoma in a ureteral stump and superficial bladder tumor occurring 23 years after ipsilateral radical nephrectomy for adenocarcinoma of the kidney. We review the literature on similar cases and discuss potential etiologies of tumor formation in the ureteral stump.
