Abstract
REGUEIRO LOPEZ, Juan Carlos; RUIZ GARCIA, Jesús; LEVA VALLEJO, Manuel and LOPEZ BELTRAN, Antonio. Papillary renal carcinoma presenting as hydronephrosis. Arch. Esp. Urol. [online]. 2009, vol.62, n.2, pp.144-146. ISSN 0004-0614.
Objective: We describe a new case of incidental renal papillary carcinoma. We perform a bibliographic review. Methods: The papillary renal cell carcinoma is a variant of renal carcinoma. They classify in two subtypes that have relation with their prognosis. We presented one case of renal papillary carcinoma in a male of 76 years, play-acting as severe hydronephrosis. Results/discussion: We describe the findings and final pathological result associated with a synchronic metastasis in the ipsilateral ureter.
Keywords : Papillary renal cell carcinoma; Renal carcinoma.
