Abstract:
We report a case of a metachronous transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the penile urethra in an elderly male after nephroureterectomy. The patient had a history of right nephroureterectomy 18 months previously due to TCC of the upper urinary tract. A solitary urethral recurrence from a TCC of the upper urinary tract is rare. An anterior urethral recurrence of a TCC of the upper urinary tract has not been previously reported in the literature. The prognosis of a metachronous anterior urethral recurrence of an upper-tract TCC is poor.
