Abstract

The patient was a 66-year-old man who presented with asymptomatic hematuria. Left hydronephrosis was observed on drip infusion pyelography (DIP), and retrograde pyelography (RP) was performed because the image of the ureter was poor. On RP, stenosis was observed in the left ureter at the L5 vertebral level. The same findings were obtained by antegrade pyelography in combination with nephrostomy. A white-colored tumor was observed at the site of stenosis by flexible pyeloscopy, and biopsy was performed. Adenocarcinoma was identified by histopathological examination. Total left renal nephroureterectomy was performed after its diagnosis as primary adenocarcinoma of the ureter (T2, N0, M0). To our knowledge, this is the 12 ^th case reported in Japan.
