*Clinically/radiologically, it may not be possible to differentiate renal pelvis UCC and RCC if the tumour is large. | |||
*Pathologically, this is not very difficult. | |||
*On gross specimens, it is almost always obvious what one is dealing with: | |||
**UCC = ''nephroureterectomy''. | |||
**RCC = ''partial nephrectomy'', ''nephrectomy'' or ''radical nephrectomy''. | |||
