“…In case of renal pelvic tumors, the incidence of metastasis has been rarely reported (4,9). One study reported metastasis from the kidney capsule to the intestinal serosa and wall (3). Other study reported local metastasis of renal pelvis TCC to the surrounding omentum, bladder and intestine (11).…”

A 12-year-old dog was evaluated for depression and anorexia. The results of complete blood count and serum biochemistry were normal. Survey radiographs revealed markedly enlarged right kidney and abdominal ultrasound showed a renomegaly and hydronephrosis filled with mixed echogenic fluid. Primary renal tumor was suspected in this dog. Nephroureterectomy of the right kidney was performed, and no regional metastases have been identified. Transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) arising from renal pelvis accompanied hydronephrosis of the right kidney was diagnosed on histology. TCC usually affects trigone of the bladder, and renal origin of TCC is a very rare finding in dogs. This is the first case report to present the clinical features, diagnostic imaging findings and histopathological characteristics of a dog with TCC originating from the renal pelvis in Korea.

“…Metastasis of renal pelvic tumours occurs rarely, therefore these tumours can be successfully treated by unilateral nephrectomy and ureterectomy. In case of bilateral renal involvement, neither surgical nor medical therapy is effective (Goldsmid et al., 1992; Dagli et al., 1997).…”

“…Tumours of the renal pelvis rarely metastasize and sometimes metastasis occurs by extension from the renal capsule to the intestinal serosa and wall (Dagli et al., 1997). In humans, TCCs of the upper urinary tract, accounting for only 5% of all urothelial cancers, often metastasize to the bladder; the incidence of subsequent bladder cancer after prior upper tract transitional cell cancer ranges from 20 to 50%.…”

Transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the renal pelvis was found in two dogs, a 7-year-old male English Setter and a 11-year-old female Shetland shepherd. Affected dogs were presented for clinical examination without any specific symptoms but haematuria in case 1 and occurrence of whitish material in the urine of case 2; neoplastic disorders were discovered with ultrasonographic investigation and fine needle aspiration biopsy. Histopathological examination was carried out after nephrectomy and ureterectomy of the affected kidney of both dogs, and confirmed the diagnosis of non-invasive and low grade TCC in case 1 and of infiltrating TCC in case 2. The clinical, gross, cytological and histopathological features of these rare tumours originating from transitional epithelium of the renal pelvis are reported.

“…In humans, a link with previous history of nephroliths, 11 previous radiation therapy, 12 long-term treatment with cyclophosphamide 13 and horseshoe kidney 14 has been reported. There is only one case report of squamous cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis in one dog 15 that presented with bilateral multiple nephroliths and a unilateral mass in the renal pelvis that had metastasised to the small intestine and lungs. To our knowledge, squamous cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis has not been reported in cats.…”

A 4-year-old female neutered domestic shorthair cat was presented for evaluation of gradual onset of lethargy and anorexia. Physical examination revealed moderate abdominal distension. Investigations performed included complete blood count, serum biochemistry, urinalysis, pyelocentesis, abdominal fluid analysis, abdominal ultrasonography and exploratory celiotomy. Nephrectomy was performed on the hydronephrotic kidney and a sample of the omentum was also taken, as it was grossly abnormal. No other abnormalities were found in the remainder of the abdominal organs. Findings were consistent with unilateral hydronephrosis and squamous cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis with abdominal carcinomatosis. The patient was given supportive treatment while the results of the biopsies from the renal tissue and the omentum were pending. The patient deteriorated a short time after surgical intervention and was euthanased. This is the first report of a squamous cell carcinoma arising from the renal pelvis in a cat. A comparison with the disease presentation in humans is also discussed.
