Clinicopathologic features of the ureteral neuroendocrine tumors.

CONCLUSION: Ureteral neuroendocrine tumors are extremely rare. Neuroendocrine markers (CD56, CgA, Syn) and epithelial markers (CKpan, CK7) are usually helpful. Grimelius special staining and electron microscopy observation can help to make a final diagnosis. Radical surgery together with postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy can improve the survival of patients. Vimentin may play a role in predicting the prognosis.
