A 61-year-old male underwent right partial nephrectomy for a pelvic tumor of a solitary kidney at the former hospital on April 1975. Two years later he had a small bladder tumor and transurethral resection was performed. Since August 1985 he had been followed up in our hospital. On June 1986, the urine cytology showed class V, but neither cystoscopy nor drip infusion pyelography revealed the tumor. On January 1992, he consulted our department with macrohematuria and anuria. Serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen level were 17.24 mg/ml and 84.1 mg/ml, respectively. Hemodialysis was administered. Retrograde pyelography revealed a defect of tumor at the pyeloureteral junction, and pyuria by ureteral catheterization showed class V cytology. Abdominal CT showed right hydronephrosis caused by the recurrence of pelvic tumor, and right nephrectomy was performed. The histopathological diagnosis was non-papillary transitional cell carcinoma, grade 3 > 2, pT3. He is in good condition with maintenance hemodialysis. In the Japanese literature there were 16 cases of pelvic tumor on the solitary or residual kidneys. In 12 of the 16 cases, kidney sparing treatment was tried and only our case has lived over 10 years. The indication of partial nephrectomy for pelvis tumor was discussed.

Herein, we report two cases of squamous cell carcinoma of the ureter. The first case was in a 56-year-old-male. Total cystectomy and ileal conduit were performed because of bladder tumor suspected to be accompanied by carcinoma in situ and atrophic urinary bladder induced by chronic cystitis in December, 1993. Pathological examination revealed transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) > squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), G2 > G1, INF beta, pT1, 1y1, v1. He complained of back pain under medical observation in December, 1994. Left hydronephrosis was found and antegrade pyelography showed leakage from the left pelvic ureteral junction. Urinary cytology revealed class V and suggested TCC. He received left nephroureterectomy, and pathohistological examination of resected specimen revealed SCC, INF gamma, pT3, pRo, pLx, pVx, pNo, pMo. CABO chemotherapy (cisplatin, methotrexate, bleomycin, vincristine) was performed postoperatively. The second case was in a 61-year-old female. She complained of macrohematuria in the course of observation of pyelonephritis. Drip infusion pyelography showed right hydronephrosis and retrograde ureterogram revealed stenosis of the right lower ureter. Urinary cytology revealed class V. Nephroureterectomy and bladder cuff were performed. The tumor was histologically diagnosed as SCC > TCC, INF beta, pT3, pRo, pLo, pVo, pNo, pMo. Postoperatively, CABO chemotherapy was performed. So far, no recurrence has been observed. Fifty five cases of squamous cell carcinoma of ureter were collected from the Japanese literatures including our cases.

Carcinomatous meningitis from urothelial carcinoma of the bladder and ureter is rare. A 77-year-old man with invasive bladder cancer and right ureter cancer had been treated with 3 courses M-VAC (methotrexate, vinblastine, epirubicin, cisplatin) chemotherapy. After chemotherapy we performed radical cystectomy and right nephroureterectomy (ileal-neobladder) (TCC, G3, pT3, N0, M0). Sixteen months after operation, patient complained of anorexia, muscular weakness, stiff neck. CT of chest and abdomen, and bone scintigraphy showed no metastasis. Brain CT and MRI showed hydrocephalus but no evidence of parenchymal metastasis. Because we suspected carcinomatous meningitis, we performed lumbar puncture. Cerebrospinal fluid cytology revealed class V (urothelial carcinoma). Patient died 6 days after diagnosis of carcinomatous meningitis.
