The patient was a 63-year-old women who visited our hospital with the chief complaints of swelling, chills, fever and right lumbago. Fifteen years ago, she received surgical exploration for right renal stones at another department of urology. A large, soft and round kidney was palpable from the right upper quadrant of abdomen to the right lower abdomen. The parenchyma of the right kidney was thinned and inside the kidney there was a huge amount of yellowish mucin. The histological diagnosis was mucin-producing cyst-adenoma (borderline malignancy) of the renal pelvis and ureter. Mucin-producing cystadenoma of the renal pelvis and ureter origin was very rare, and only 4 similar cases to our patient were so far reported.

A 76-year-old woman presented with temporary right back pain and renal dysfunction. She had undergone ileal ureter interposition for right ureteral resection due to retroperitoneal liposarcoma about forty years ago. Abdominal computed tomographic (CT) scan showed right hydronephrosis and a stenosis in the middle of the ileal ureter. The symptoms were relieved, and the patient was followed. Six months later, however, a contrast enhanced lesion was newly observed at the stenosis of the ileal ureter, and nineteen months later, right ovarian tumor and peritoneal dissemination were subsequently observed. Aiming at diagnosis and cytoreduction, right nephroureterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy were performed. Histopathological findings of the resected tumors showed common characteristics of infiltrating and proliferating adenocarcinoma. Immunohistochemistry findings showed that Cytokeratin 7 and Cytokeratin 20 stained positive. On the other hand, Mucin 2 and Special AT-rich sequence-binding protein 2 were not found. The histopathological diagnosis was metastatic mucinous adenocarcinoma of the ovary with ileal ureter and a wide peritoneal dissemination. The patient rejected adjuvant chemotherapy and a new lesion was found in the pelvic fourmonths afterthe surgery.
