Metastatic ureteral tumors arising from a primary breast carcinoma are extremely rare. They present with hematuria and radiological findings compatible with obstructive ureteral phenomena. We present a case of an 87-year-old woman with a history of lymphoma and triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), during an emergency admission for peptic ulcer, developed macroscopic hematuria. Radiologic and endoscopic investigations revealed a remarkable stenosis at the lower segment of the right ureter, attributed to metastases from her breast carcinoma. We report this case with the aim to make both oncologists and urologists aware of this rare condition.
由原发性乳腺癌引起的转移性输尿管肿瘤极为罕见。它们表现为血尿,并伴有影像学表现符合输尿管梗阻现象。我们报告了一例 87 岁女性病例,该患者有淋巴瘤和三阴性乳腺癌(TNBC)病史,在因消化性溃疡急诊入院时出现肉眼血尿。影像学和内镜检查显示右输尿管下段明显狭窄,归因于乳腺癌转移。我们报告这个病例的目的是让肿瘤学家和泌尿科医生都意识到这种罕见的情况。
