Invasive squamous cell bladder cancer of the ureterovesical junction in a renal transplant patient: a case report

It is well established in the literature that the incidence of malignancy is higher in transplant patients than in the general population. Risk factors and screening guidelines for transplant patients have been proposed, but are far from standardized. In this case report, we discuss the treatment course of a 73-year-old female with a history of renal tuberculosis, who developed squamous cell carcinoma at the transplant ureterovesical junction 6 years following graft placement. To our knowledge, this is the second reported case in a patient with a history of renal tuberculosis.
