RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: Report a case of a synchronous bilateral urothelial carcinoma of the upper urinary tract without bladder affectation. METHODS: We describe the diagnosis and treatment of a case of a bilateral upper urothelial carcinoma. CONCLUSIONS: Synchronous bilateral urithelial carcinoma of the upper urinary tract without bladder affectation in an unusual occurance (1-5% of urothelial tumors) and radical surgery continues to be the treatment of choice, although it is possible to take a less aggressive approuch with selected groups of patient, in which we can achiese a survival rate similar to that which we obtain with radical surgery.

Objetivo: Presentar el caso de un tumor urotelial ureteral bilateral sincrónico sin afectación vesical. Métodos: Diagnóstico y tratamiento de un caso de tumor urotelial bilateral sincrónico. Conclusiones: El carcinoma urotelial bilateral sincrónico sin afectación vesical es una entidad rara (1-5% de todos los tumores uroteliales) donde la cirugía radical sigue siendo el tratamiento curativo de elección, aunque el mejor conocimiento de esta patología hace que hoy en día se pueda realizar tratamiento conservador a un grupo seleccionado de pacientes con tasa de similar supervivencia a los que se le indica tratamiento radical
