An upper urinary tract tumor following the initial diagnosis of bladder carcinoma is rare. We report 3 patients with bladder carcinoma who later developed upper urinary tract tumors. Ureteral tumor was diagnosed by ureterorenoscope in the first 2 patients, while in the third case, urothelial tumor involving the entire left upper tract was found at the time of planned operation for cystectomy. The etiology, risk factors, and investigation plans were reviewed, in order to make an early detection of tumors.

D016609	Neoplasms, Second Primary	Abnormal growths of tissue that follow a previous neoplasm but are not metastases of the latter. The second neoplasm may have the same or different histological type and can occur in the same or different organs as the previous neoplasm but in all cases arises from an independent oncogenic event. The development of the second neoplasm may or may not be related to the treatment for the previous neoplasm since genetic risk or predisposing factors may actually be the cause.
