Abstract

We report the case of a 61-year-old man, with a rare combination of two advanced urological tumors: a concomitant spread of an adenocarcinomabeyond the kidney and a urothelial carcinoma beyond the bladder. Wesimultaneously performed a primary curative prostatovesiculectomy anda nephroureterectomy on the right with ileal neobladder. To ourknowledge, a case report of concomitant spread of an adenocarcinomabeyond the kidney (pT3 pN0 M0 G3) and a urothelial carcinoma beyondthe bladder (pT3a pN0 M0 G3) with subsequent curative therapy hasthus far not been published. A combination of the two diseasesdescribed here is obviously a remarkable rarity.
