PRIMARY TUMOUR OF THE URETERIC STUMP FOLLOWING NEPHRECTOMY: ¹ Presentation of a Case and a Review of the Literature

SUMMARY The tenth case of primary tumour arising in the stump of ureter following nephrectomy has been reported, and the features of these cases, both benign and malignant, reviewed. A brief historical review of the pathology of the stump of the ureter precedes a definition of this tumour. When compared to malignant tumours arising in the intact ureter, the clinical and diagnostic features are similar, but a high incidence of squamous cell carcinoma and of multiple tumours is reported in these cases of tumour arising in the stump of ureter.
