Résumé

Virtual pyeloscopy (VP) plays an important role in the organ-sparing

nephroscopic tumour resection and traditional pole resection,

especially when a fibreoptic ureteroscopic examination cannot be

performed. A 67-year-old man developed macroscopic hematuria.

Abdominal computed tomography (CT) and cystoscopy revealed a

lower calix renal stone and a 20-mm lower pyelon mass suggesting

transitional cell cancer. An additional small satellite lesion in

the pelvico-ureteral junction was supposedly present. Three-phase

MultiDetector CT with VP showed a solitary 3 to 4-mm renal pelvic

lesion beyond the known calix stone and lower pole mass. In our

case, VP played an important role in the organ-sparing nephroscopic

tumour resection and traditional pole resection.
