Abstract

A 45 year old male reported with flank mass which on evaluation was found to be gross hydronephrosis containing multiple nodu-lar lesions. Nephroureterectomy was done with a diagnosis of urothelial cancer in a hydronephrotic kidney. Various pathological tests confirmed MEST.

MEST presenting as multiple polypoidal lesions in a grossly dilated kidney due to pelvi ureteric junction obstruction (PUJO) has not been reported so far.
