- Upper tract transitional cell carcinoma is difficult to diagnose due to its common occurrence and varied symptoms.
- A case involved a 48-year-old man with heart disease and a kidney stone, where high-grade carcinoma was found during ureteroscopy to remove the stone.
- The unusual structure of the kidney's calyceal diverticulum may increase the risk of the cancer spreading, underscoring the need for careful surgical practices to prevent tumor cell dissemination.
