Background: A 72‐year‐old man was admitted with gross hematuria. Investigations revealed bilateral renal pelvic tumors. Methods/Results: Via a midline incision, left nephroureterectomy with bladder cuff resection was performed for the large left‐sided tumor. The right small solitary right‐sided tumor was endoscopically resected simultaneously. Histologically, both tumors were grade 2 transitional cell carcinomas without muscular invasion. Conclusion: There has been no evidence of recurrence or metastasis 30 months postoperatively.
