  • A common symptom in cancer patients is fever, usually caused by infection, but cases of fever specifically due to cancer like UTUC are less frequent.
  • This report discusses a specific case of a 58-year-old man who had advanced, high-grade UTUC and experienced hyperthermia as a symptom.

Article Abstract

Upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) is a relatively rare malignant neoplasm of the urinary system. Due to its highly aggressiveness, the tumor has already undergone invasive growth when most UTUC patients are diagnosed. In addition, the most common cause of fever in cancer patients is infection, and cancer patients with neoplastic fever are relatively rare. We reported a 58-year-old man with invasive high-grade UTUC accompanied by hyperthermia.
