RENAL LITHIASIS COMPLICATED WITH UROTHELIAL CARCINOMA OF THE RENAL PELVIS – CLINICAL CASE

Abstract

Transitional cell carcinomas of the urinary tract are the sixth most common tumors, and long-term urolithiasis is considered one of the risk factors for their development. We present a clinical case of renal lithiasis complicated by urothelial carcinoma of the renal pelvis. Clinical presentations overlap for both pathologies. Ultrasound and CT of abdominal organs were used for preoperative preparation. Postoperative follow-up of the patient showed no evidence of recurrence. Timely diagnosis and treatment are essential for the survival rate associated with urothelial carcinomas. It is crucial to devote the necessary attention in this direction, bearing in mind the falling age limit for this pathology.
