[Squamous cell carcinoma of the ureter arising seventeen years after total cystectomy for squamous cell carcinoma of the bladder: a case report].
We report a case of squamous cell carcinoma of the ureter. A 62-year-old woman had undergone total cystectomy and ileal conduit because of squamous cell carcinoma of the bladder when she was 44 years old. Seventeen years later, she complained of edema and oliguria. Antegrade pyelography and loopography revealed a left ureteral tumor. She underwent left ureterectomy and extirpation of the conduit. Pathological diagnosis was moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of the ureter, pT2. The patient is alive without recurrence or metastasis in the first year after surgery.
