Urol Int. 1996;56(3):196-9. doi: 10.1159/000282840.

Abstract

A case of bilateral synchronous ureteral tumors, in association with a unilateral incomplete duplication of ureter, is presented. This patient underwent right nephroureterectomy with removal of a cuff of bladder, partial resection of left ureter, and ileal loop interposition between renal pelvis and bladder. Followup showed no recurrence in the residual urinary tract 2-years postoperatively.
