title: Transitional cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis in a long-term hemodialysis patient with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney.
abstract: We present a case of renal pelvic transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) accompanied by autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). An 81-year-old woman on long-term hemodialysis for ADPKD visited the Department of Urology at Kouseiren Takaoko Hospital, complaining of asymptomatic macroscopic hematuria. Retrograde pyelogram showed an irregular filling defect in the right renal pelvis, which suggested the right renal pelvic tumor. We performed right nephrectomy and transurethral removal of the right ureter. Histological diagnosis demonstrated renal pelvic TCC.
