We
report a case of a metachronous
transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the penile
urethra in an
elderly male after
nephroureterectomy. The
patient had a
history of right
nephroureterectomy 18 months previously due to TCC of the upper
urinary tract. A solitary urethral
recurrence from a TCC of the upper
urinary tract is rare. An anterior urethral
recurrence of a TCC of the upper
urinary tract has not been previously reported in the
literature. The
prognosis of a metachronous anterior urethral
recurrence of an upper-tract TCC is poor.
