Case Discussion
Transitional cell carcinoma is more commonly associated with the bladder, but can effect any part of the genitourinary tract.
In this case it was identified on a CT performed for other purposes. Hematuria is the main symptomatic presentation.
Imaging of the upper tracts is best undertaken with either CT-IVU or split bolus technique imaging.
