| Article Title: | Upper urinary tract metastases from adenocarcinoma of the colon |
| Abstract: | An unusual presentation of colorectal metastasis to the upper urinary tract is reported. The metastasis manifested as a filling defect seen during antegrade pyelography. Cytologic evaluation of aspirated material demonstrated metastatic colonic adenocarcinoma. A dilated collecting system may be caused by intraluminal material including tumor and blood clots. Whenever fixed filling defects are encountered, urine cytology should be sent even in the absence of renal parenchymal involvement by tumor. The cytological evaluation may allow for prompt diagnosis and treatment. © 2005 Taylor & Francis. |
