[A case of CEA and CA19-9 producing recurrent transitional cell carcinoma in an Indiana pouch after total cystectomy].
A 73-year-old female with transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the bladder underwent total cystectomy and Indiana pouch replacement in April, 1992. Histological examination revealed grade 3 TCC. In February 1995, she complained of gross hematuria. Intravenous pyelography (IVP) revealed a right non-functional kidney and filling defect in the Indiana pouch. We suspected colon cancer in the Indiana pouch because the levels of serum carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA) and CA19-9 were elevated. Endoscopic biopsy of intrapouch tumor was done. Pathological examination revealed grade 2 TCC. In July 1995, right nephroureterectomy with resection of Indiana pouch was performed and the surgical specimen revealed renal pelvic and ureteral cancer, grade 2 TCC. The levels of serum CEA and CA19-9 returned to the normal range 21 days after the operation. CEA and CA19-9 histochemical stain of renal pelvic and ureteral cancer were positive. Also CEA-, CA19-9-positive cells were detected in the specimens of the bladder tumor from the total cystectomy performed in 1992. This rare case is discussed and the literature is reviewed.
