“…The occurrence of primary carcinoma of the ureteral stump following a radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma is particularly rare. The present study performed a literature review and, to the best of our knowledge, there were 7 previous cases worldwide of ureteral stump carcinoma following radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma ( 3 – 9 ). All 7 patients presented with transitional cell carcinoma ( 3 – 9 ).…”

“…However, there was no evidence of significant inflammation or the presence of urinary calculi in the 8 patients with ureteral stump carcinoma following radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma. Haritopoulos et al ( 9 ) identified a patient that was first diagnosed with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder, which was completely resected by transurethral resection. The patient presented with 3 tumor recurrences in the bladder following surgery.…”

“…By contrast, primary carcinoma of ureteral stump following a radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma is rare. Previously, 7 patients with the disease have been reported worldwide; and all 7 patients were men with transitional cell carcinoma ( 3 – 9 ). The current study presents a case report of an eighth patient, who is the first female case; and reviews the literature concerning patients with ureteral stump carcinoma following radical nephrectomy.…”

The occurrence of primary carcinoma of the ureteral stump following radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma is extremely rare; 7 patients with the disease have been reported previously. All these patients were males with transitional cell carcinoma. The current study reports the case of a 61-year-old woman, who presented with gross hematuria following a radical nephrectomy for local clear cell renal carcinoma. A computed tomography scan revealed the presence of a mass on the ureteral stump. The patient underwent a left ureteral stump and bladder cuff excision. The histological diagnosis was high-grade transitional cell carcinoma of the ureteral stump, with focal interstitial cancer cell infiltrates. There was no evidence of recurrence during a follow-up period of 35 months. In addition, the present study reviewed the literature for previous patients with ureteral stump carcinoma following a radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma; 7 previous patients with the disease were identified. The present study suggests that, if patients who have previously undergone a radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma present with hematuria, the possibility of ureteral stump carcinoma should be considered, particularly in East Asian countries. The existence or a history of bladder carcinoma should be considered as a high-risk factor for developing ureteral stump carcinoma. A ureteral stump and bladder cuff excision should be performed once ureteral stump carcinoma is diagnosed.
