We report a 77-year-old Japanese man with superficial ureteral carcinoma with elevation of serum CA19-9 and carcinoembryogenic antigen (CEA) at recurrence. We performed radical nephroureterectomy and partial bladder resection for the right ureteral carcinoma. Pathological diagnosis was UC, G2 > G1, pTa, NO, MO (according to UICC classification). Eighteen months later, local recurrence and multiple metastases were observed, accompanied by the elevation of serum CA19-9 and CEA. His autopsy specimens showed positive immunostaining for serum CA19-9 and CEA. In Ki-67 labeling index, the autopsy specimens showed higher scores than the surgical specimen.
