Abstract

Urothelial tumor developes from bladder, renal pelvis, calices, ureter and urethra. Especillary primary ureteral tumor are relatively rare. Primary transitional cell car- cinoma of ureter mainly spreads to pelvic lymphatics. Transitional cell carcinoma occurs predominantly man and arises from bladder. In the case of metastatic liver carcnoma, primary carcinoma arises from G-I tract, lung, breast and melanoma. We experienced one case of ureteral TCC and metastasis to liver. We report the case of primary ureteral TCC metastasis to liver with the review of literature.
