Case report:
A 67-year-old woman with 5 years of evolution, with right breast cancer stage IA luminal A. She presented repeated urinary tract infection, total macroscopic hematuria and pain in the right renal fossa. The computed tomography showed dilation of the upper calyx and filling defect in the renal pelvis.
