Abstract EN
Primary epithelial tumor of the renal pelvis is rare and only 100 cases are reported in the literature [1].
Histological examination of the tumor showed glands, cysts, and papillae lined by pseudostratified columnar epithelium with hyperchromatic nuclei.
Scattered signet ring-type cells were also seen floating in large pools of extracellular mucin.
Sections from the ureter showed a component of adenocarcinoma in situ.
No invasive tumor was identified in ureteric tissue.
One case was reported with carcinoma in situ of the ureter (2).
Immunohistochemically : The tumor showed positivity for CK7, CK20, CK8 / 18, GATA-3, MSH-2, MSH-6, MLH-1, Ber-EP4, and S-100-P with focal positivity for CDX-2, weak positivity for PMS-2 and negativity in TTF-1 and Her-2.
Molecular pathological analysis revealed microsatellite stability and without mutation in K-ras-gene.
Thus, a diagnosis of mucinous adenocarcinoma of the renal pelvis with in situ adenocarcinoma of the ureter was made.
