| Zusammenfassung: | A 58-year-old man with a chief complaint of exertional dyspnea was admitted to our hospital. One year earlier, he had visited another hospital for the evaluation of gross hematuria, and had undergone right nephro-ureterectomy with a diagnosis of right renal pelvic cancer. Blood chemistry revealed an elevated level of carcinoembryogenic antigen (CEA) (134.5 ng/ml). Computed tomographic scans showed multiple metastases to the liver and sternum. No primary lesion was detected, and immuno-histochemical findings of the specimen were CEA-positive. Thus, we diagnosed this case as CEA-producing renal pelvic cancer. Chemotherapy was ineffective. The patient committed suicide 10 months after admission |
