Abstract

A 52-year-old male with left renal pelvic cancer (transitional cell carcinoma) underwent total nephroureterectomy, partial resection of the urinary bladder, and lymphadenectomy. After the operation, he received three courses of M-VAC chemotherapy. Two years seven months postoperatively, a single metastatic lesion was detected in the left lung. The tumor was surgically resected, and the patient received two courses of M-VAC chemotherapy. Aa of three years after resection of the lung metastasis, no new metastatic lesions have been detected in the lungs or other organs. Surgical resection and chemotherapy of the solitary pulmonary metastasis appears to have been effective.
