Abstract
ABSTRACT
Congenital abnormalities of the kidney and urinary tract are common. In particular, the duplicated collecting system is one of the most common kidney abnormalities, but most are asymptomatic. The pathogenesis of these abnormalities is also known very little and some pathogenic genes are thought to be related. The transitional cell carcinoma arises in the renal pelvis in incompletely duplicated collecting system is very rare. The report presents a clinical case: a 37-year-old female patient hospitalized with hematuria. CT scan of the abdomen discovered. The right kidney incompletely duplicated collecting system, and an upper renal pelvis tumor # 2.2 x 3.5 cm, spread to the renal pelvis and the head of the ureter. Purpose: Report on a rare clinical case: “an upper renal pelvis tumor arising in incompletely duplicated collecting system” to supplement to the current literature.
