Abstract
Six patients with ureteral or renal pelvic metastases from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) were studied radiologically. Correlation with surgical and histologic findings confirmed renal venous involvement in 5 and lymphatic invasion in 3 patients. The possible role of nephroureterectomy or secondary ureterectomy in patients with RCC is discussed in the background of our cases, as are prior reports of this finding.
