Abstract
I Sir i : The spectrum of Lynch syndrome (LS) is progressively widening, with an increasing number of tumour types being added to the list of "LS-related cancers" (sarcomas, uveal melanomas, etc.).[1] Urological neoplasms are the third most common tumours in LS patients, and most frequently occur in the upper urinary tract. A, Tumour cells with a diffuse growth pattern, crossed by fibrous septa filled with lymphocytes.
