A rare case of primary papillary adenocarcinoma of the renal pelvis is reported. A 75-year-old man was introduced to our institute because of chance hematuria. He had no history of urolithiasis or urinary tract infection. Excretory urography showed a space taking lesion at the lower position of left renal pelvis with low function. Because of advanced stage with paraaortic lymphnode invasion, simple nephrectomy followed by irradiation and systemic chemotherapy with 5-FU was done. He died of pneumonia and acute heart failure after subtotal gastrectomy for peptic ulcer four months after the nephrectomy. Excised specimen revealed papillary adenocarcinoma of the renal pelvis without mucin production. This case was the 51st case reported in the literature. A short review of the disease is also reported.
