“…Tumors of the renal pelvis, comprising 12% of renal neoplasms in adults, are rarely diagnosed in children [l-31. Adenocarcinomas of the renal pelvis occur predominantly in adults, with 47 of 48 reported patients being greater than 32 years of age at diagnosis [4]. With this report we describe the youngest reported patient (an 11 year old boy) diagnosed with this tumor and discuss our approach to the therapy of this neoplasm in pediatric patients.…”

“…At diagnosis, many patients had nonfunctioning hydronephrotic kidneys. One case has been noted in a horseshoe kidney [4], and one has been noted with coexistant tuberculous pyelonephritis [ 161. Occasionally, multifocal tumors are noted in the renal pelvis and ipsilateral ureter [ 10,171. In general, the symptoms at presentation were that of calculus pyelonephritis.…”

Tumors of the renal pelvis are not common in adults and are extremely rare in children. Forty-eight cases of adenocarcinoma of the renal pelvis have been reported, with only one patient under 32 years of age. We report the youngest patient (an 11 year old boy) diagnosed with this tumor and discuss our approach to therapy. We also review the literature with respect to the characteristics and histogenesis of this rare neoplasm.

Two cases of intestinal-type adenocarcinoma of the renal pelvis (ARP) in 48-and 63-year-old females are presented. Both had a previous history of urinary obstructive disease, one secondary to staghorn calculus and the other to postirradiation stenosis following treatment for carcinoma of the cervix. Immuno-histochemical findings revealed marked positivity to epithelial membrane antigen and focal positivity to cytokeratins and carcinoembryonic antigen. Chronic irritation of the renal pelvis plays an important role in the pathogenesis of ARP. In one of our cases of multicentric origin, the synergistic effect of pelvic irradiation and cyclophosphamide chemotherapy in a patient with a previous squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix, may be responsible for the pathogenesis of the ARP.
