Transitional cell carcinoma of ureteral stump after radical nephrectomy in a patient with a history of bladder carcinoma.
Transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of ureteral stump after radical nephrectomy is rare. Following nephrectomy patients with a prior history of bladder cancer must have their ureteral stumps evaluated. Furthermore, the presence of hematuria should alert the urologist to a possible TCC in the ureteral stump. We present a patient who developed TCC of the ureteral stump after radical nephrectomy.
