Ureteral transitional cell carcinoma with supraclavicular lymph node metastasis: Case report
Üreterin primer değişici epitel hücreli karsinomu oldukça nadir görülmektedir. Bilgilerimize göre; üreterin değişici epitel hücreli karsinomunun supraklavikular lenf noduna metastazı literatürde daha önce sadece iki kez bildirilmiştir. Bu olguda, supraklavikular lenf nodu metastazı olan primer üreteral tümörlü 57 yaşında erkek hasta sunulmaktadır.
