Abstract
Urothelial carcinoma on a ureterocele is extremely rare in the literature, and few case reports have been reported. There are no guidelines for diagnosis and management, and current practice is extrapolated from bladder and upper urothelial tract carcinoma. We present a case from a 61-year-old man with urothelial carcinoma on a ureterocele treated with ureterocele resection, distal urethrectomy, and reimplantation on the bladder. We also review the literature concerning diagnostic approaches and management.
