Exfoliative urinary cytology was performed on 60 cases of histologically proven TCC (Transitional cells carcinoma) of the renal pelvis and ureter. There were 39 cases of TCC of the renal pelvis. Urine cytology was positive in 27 cases (69.2%); suspicious in 5 cases (12.8%) and negative in 7 cases (17.9%). Significant correlation was found in the frequency of diagnosis and the histological grade of carcinoma. The cytological positive rate in G1 carcinoma was 40%; 71% in G2; 100% in G3. It is considered that the location of tumor in the renal pelvis predominates the urinary cytological positive rate. Urine cytology was positive in 3 cases (33.3%) out of 9 cases of the carcinoma seated in the inferior renal calix, whereas 19 cases (86.4%) from 22 cases in other sites of the renal pelvis (P less than 0.05). The positive rate of urine cytology for 21 cases of TCC of the ureter was 42.9%. The results showed that the secondary ureteric obstruction was an influence on the cytological positive rate.
