Abstract
Certain tumors are more difficult to recognize when they present in an unusual location. Within the urinary tract, primary melanomas, carcinoid tumors, or epithelioid angiosarcoma could present diagnostic challenges due to their infrequent occurrence. This article emphasizes the clinical and histopathologic features of these entities and their differential diagnoses including the immunophenotype and their prognoses.
