Abstract
A renal transplant recipient with upper tract transitional cell carcinoma developed a solitary port-tract recurrence 8 months after a hand-assisted laparoscopic bilateral nephroureterectomy and was successfully managed by a local wide excision and adjuvant radiotherapy. Follow-up for 3 years after the salvage therapy showed no evidence of local recurrence or distant metastasis. This patient is the first one in the literature to have a solitary port-site metastasis of transitional cell carcinoma in renal transplant recipients.
