A 65-year-old female had been taking analgesics containing phenacetin, because of severe headaches since 1958. The total dose of phenacetin that she had taken was calculated to be 8.0 kg. She visited the department of urology in our hospital in August, 1999 complaining of gross hematuria. A solid mass was detected in her left renal pelvis on the abdominal computed tomographic (CT) scan. Under the diagnosis of a left renal pelvic tumor, nephrouretectomy was performed in September, 1999. Histopathological diagnosis was grade 2 transitional cell carcinoma. Interstitial nephritis was also observed. Our case is the twenty-second report of an urinary tract tumor associated with phenacetin abuse in Japan.
