A case of spontaneous peripelvic extravasation with ileocecal cancer is reported. A 60-year-old man with right flank pain was referred to our department. Dripinfusion pyelography showed right peripelvic extravasation. Neither computed tomography (CT) nor retrograde pyelography revealed any ureteral stones or tumors. Urinary cytology was negative. One month later, right retrograde pyelography demonstrated the filling defect in the right ureter, but no stones, ureteral tumors or other tumors related to the ureter were detected by CT. An exploratory laparotomy was done. We found an ileocecal tumor invading to the right ureter and disseminated to the peritoneum. Histological diagnosis was mucinous carcinoma.

We report herein the case of a 63-year-old woman who underwent surgery for recurrent mucinous carcinoma of the cecum. Recurrent metastatic lymph nodes had invaded the right common iliac vessels and right ureter, but she had no distant metastases and no peritoneal dissemination. Extended surgery with en bloc resection of the right iliac vessels and right ureter, and femorofemoral bypass were performed. Postoperatively, several complications developed which were successfully treated by further operations. By 1 year after surgery, she had no recurrent tumors on radiological examination, suggesting that our aggressive surgery with resection of the invaded regional vessels had effectively removed the recurrent tumors. This procedure may therefore significantly prolong the survival time and improve the quality of life of such patients.

We present a case of primary ureteral carcinoma composed of both transitional cell carcinoma and mucinous carcinoma. A 79-year-old woman visited her home doctor with the chief complaint of right lower abdominal pain. Abdominal computed tomographic scan (CT) disclosed a tumor measuring about 5 cm in diameter at the right lower quadrant of the abdomen. Percutaneous nephrostomy was performed for hydronephrosis and pyonephrosis. The urinary cytology revealed class V, transitional cell carcinoma. Re-abdominal CT showed further enlargement of tumor diameter, but the primary site of the tumor was not identified. Her general condition worsened, and she died 42 days after her initial complaint. Pathologic examinations upon autopsy revealed both mucinous carcinoma and transitional cell carcinoma in the right ureter. Pathogenesis and management of this rare condition are discussed.
