Abstrakt: Objective: To describe a case of tumor implantation at the site of resection in the ureteral orifice, following nephroureterectomy combined with resection of the bladder cuff of.
Methods/results: A patient with high grade and stage carcinoma of the renal pelvis and no previous bladder tumor presented with a perivesical mass 6 months following nephroureterectomy. She had a high grade transitional cell carcinoma that infiltrated all of the bladder wall, vagina and parametrium in the region of the meatus that had been resected endoscopically.
Conclusions: The present case indicates there may be histological or technique-related factors that facilitate tumor cell implantation in the deep perivesical region after this procedure is performed. It is necessary to identify these factors before this procedure is used widely.
