[Synchronous multifocal development of invasive transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary tract in a patient with renal failure receiving long-term hemodialysis: a case report].

We report a case of transitional cell carcinoma in a patient with chronic renal failure receiving hemodialysis for 22 years. A 55-year-old man was admitted to our hospital. Under diagnosis of invasive bladder cancer and left renal pelvic tumor, removal of the whole urinary tract, e.g., bilateral nephroureterectomy and total cystourethrectomy was performed. Transitional cell carcinoma was found in bilateral renal pelvis, left ureter, bladder and prostate in the resected specimen. Thirteen months after the operation, multiple lung metastases and pathologic bone fracture of the 4th lumber vertebra were found. Chemotherapy (3 courses of modified CISCA, consisting of cisplatin, adriamycin and cyclophosphamide) was performed, but the died of systemic metastases of cancer and bleeding due to perforation of multiple gastric ulcers.
