"Besides the high risk of developing colorectal carcinomas of 10–80%, Lynch syndrome family members are at increased risk of developing several extra-colonic cancers and tumours at a relatively young age: endometrial cancer, carcinomas of the ovary, small bowel and biliary tract cancer, sebaceous gland tumours and urothelial carcinomas (UC) of the upper urinary tract. The lifetime risk of upper urinary tract cancer in Lynch syndrome varies in different studies from 0.4–20%. Microsatellite instability (MSI) is present in these urothelial carcinomas of the upper urinary tract."
