Bilateral hydronephrosis identified by a local physician brought a 65-year-old man to our hospital. Emergency percutaneous nephrostomy was bilaterally established for obstructive renal failure. After recovering renal function, the patient underwent radical cystectomy under the diagnosis of invasive bladder cancer and the construction of an ileal conduit. The pathology reported well differentiated adenocarcinoma (pT2, pL1, pV1). Five years after the surgery, gross hematuria developed. A computed tomographic scan revealed right hydronephrosis with a solid mass in the upper calyx. The urinary cytology was negative. The patient underwent right nephrectomy in May, 1999. The pathology then revealed well differentiated adenocarcinoma in the renal pelvis and ureter (pT3, pL0, pV0 and pT1, pL0, pV0, respectively). He is alive with mild chronic renal insufficiency with evidence of tumor at ten months after surgery. To our knowledge, this is the first case of metachronous adenocarcinoma of the urinary bladder and the upper urinary tract reported in the Japanese literature.
