Abstract
Metastatic renal cell carcinoma commonly involves the lungs, bone, liver, adrenal glands, and brain. Less commonly affected organs include the gallbladder, thyroid, and pancreas. Even metastatic spread to the contralateral kidney and the bladder has been reported. Computed tomography is the standard imaging technique to evaluate for contralateral involvement. One of the disadvantages of computed tomography as a screening modality is its difficulty in identifying small ureteral lesions. We report a rare case of metastatic renal cell carcinoma in the contralateral ureter presenting as acute obstructive renal failure after radical nephrectomy.
