Late solitary metastasis of chromophobe renal cell carcinoma in the residual ureter
Introduction Postoperative recurrence of chromophobe renal cell carcinoma is rare, and its metastatic process remains unclear. We here report a case of a solitary metastasis in the residual ureter detected 9 years after the primary surgery and discuss its possible recurrence mechanism based on our immunohistochemical study.
