Abstract

We report a case of nephrostomy tract tumor seeding following percutaneous nephrostomy tube placement and endoscopic manipulation of ureteral carcinoma. While never previously reported to our knowledge, tumor seeding is a potential risk of percutaneous endoscopic management of upper tract urothelial carcinomas.
