ResumenA continuación se reporta un caso de carcinoma de células transicionales descubierto durante una ureteroscopia indicada por litiasis de la unión ureteropiélica. Se tomó biopsia del tumor y posteriormente se realizó ureterolitotomía con biopsia transquirúrgica, identificando tumor de células transicionales por lo que se realizó nefroureterectomía derecha con resultado histopatológico de tumor de células transicionales de bajo grado. Este caso ilustra el potencial de desarrollar tumor de células transicionales en áreas afectadas por litiasis urinaria.
A report is described herein of a case of transitional cell carcinoma discovered during ureteroscopy indicated for ureteropelvic junction lithiasis. A biopsy of the tumor was taken, after which ureterolithotomy with intraoperative biopsy was performed that identified a transitional cell tumor. Right nephroureterectomy was carried out and the histopathologic study reported a low-grade transitional cell tumor. This case illustrates the potential there is for developing a transitional cell tumor in areas that have been affected by urinary tract lithiasis.
