Transitional cell carcinoma of residual kidney after partial nephrectomy for renal adenocarcinoma

Abstract

Transitional cell carcinoma of the superior calyces was found 1 year after ipsilateral partial nephrectomy for renal adenocarcinoma. The main special features of the case are the rare occurrence of two primary tumours in the same kidney and the previous conservative surgery. A review of the literature has revealed no earlier case of this type.
