[Recurrent Urothelial Carcinoma in the Uretero-Vesical Junction Treated with Partial Ureterectomy and Ureteroneocystostomy during Long-Term Follow-Up : A Case Report].

Abstract

A 54-year-old woman who had been treated with transurethral resection of bladder tumor for nonmuscle invasive urothelial carcinoma approximately nine years before presented with gross hematuria. Cystoscopy demonstrated a papillary tumor at the left side of the ureteral orifice. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a 1.3 cm non-muscle invasive lesion in the lower ureter from the ureteral orifice. She suffered from connective tissue disease treated with steroids. To avoid renal failure, we performed partial ureterectomy and ureteroneocystostomy. Pathological findings revealed pT1 urothelial carcinoma with negative surgical margin. There have been no signs of recurrence during eight years of follow-up after the last treatment.
