I don't know why you are asking and hope this doesn't come as a shock, but to answer your question, a malignant neoplasm is a growth that has cancerous features. The urine tract includes the central part of the kidneys, the tubes from the kidneys to the bladder (ureters), the bladder and the tube from the bladder to outside of the body (urethra). So a malignant neoplasm is a cancer somewhere along the urine tract - the most common site is the bladder. Bladder cancer is often caught early and can be very treatable when it is caught at an early stage.

Hi thank you for your reply. I was asking about malignant neoplasm of urinary tract becuse i was recently discharged from hospital and the discharge papers they gave me states that this condition is coded by doctors in my medical history. I'm really confused to whether I actually have it or not. I did my own research and found iut that it was a cancer but j wanted a second opinion
Could this be a mistake that doctors made when producing the discharge summary
I am afraid that I cannot say anymore than Julia has, I don't think anyone here could. You do seem concerned and I think that is very understandable so you should discuss this further with the doctor that is caring for you or your GP.
