| Zusammenfassung: | A 84-year-old female visited our hospital with the chief complaint of asymptomatic gross hematuria. The computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a large invasive tumor in the right renal pelvis. Metastatic workup was negative. On imaging studies and voided urine cytology, diagnosis of right renal pelvic cancer (cT3N0M0) was made. Laparoscopic right nephroureterectomy was performed. Histopathological examinations revealed a small cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis. The patient declined adjuvant chemotherapy and died 5 months after surgery. Primary small cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis is a rare disease. To our knowledge, this is the 29th case of primary small cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis in the world literature |
