Title: | Ureteric Obstruction From Malignant Melanoma in Both Right Double Moiety and Left Single Moiety Ureters | Authors: | March, Brayden ;Calopedos, Ross J S ;Latif, Edward ;Ouyang, Rupert | Affliation: | Central Coast Local Health District Gosford Hospital |
Issue Date: | May-2017 | Source: | 103:e7-e8 | Journal title: | Urology | Department: | Urology | Abstract: | We report the first documented case of malignant melanoma obstructing ureters of both moieties of a duplex kidney and contralateral single moiety ureter in a 51-year-old male. The patient presented with fever, coryzal symptoms, and liver function test derangement several years after 2 superficial spreading melanomas were excised with clear margins. Ultrasonography demonstrated hydronephroureter in both moieties of a complete right-sided duplex kidney. Retrograde pyelograms showed bilateral hydronephroureter and filling defects in all 3 ureters. Biopsied tumor cells were positive for S100, Melan A, and HMB45. Cutaneous melanoma metastasizing to ureters is a rare phenomenon and can present a diagnostic challenge to clinicians if clinically silent. | URI: | https://elibrary.cclhd.health.nsw.gov.au/cclhdjspui/handle/1/1501 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.urology.2017.02.021 | Pubmed: | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28216451 | ISSN: | 0090-4295 | Publicaton type: | Journal Article | Keywords: | Cancer Urology |
