We report a synchronous renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and renal pelvic transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) in the kidney of a 74-year-old man. The kidney was without hydronephrosis. The patient was admitted to the hospital because he had intermittent gross hematuria for three years. Histologically, a section of the specimen revealed a conventional (clear cell) RCC in renal parenchyma just beneath the renal pelvis and a papillary urothelial carcinoma arising from the renal pelvis at the upper pole; the two are completely separated from one another. The tumor cells of the TCC showed an overexpression of c-MET immunohistochemical staining and more intense positive reactivity for p53 immunohistochemical staining than those of the RCC. These findings suggest that c-Met and p53 may be associated with the development of papillary TCC.
