Ureterocele arising from a lower-pole moiety

Urol Int. 1999;63(4):245-6. doi: 10.1159/000030459.

Abstract

We report on an uncommon case of a ureterocele arising from the lower-pole ureter in a duplex system. To our knowledge, this represents the 3rd such case reported in the English literature. Ultrasonography and retrograde pyelogram established the diagnosis. The patient underwent left upper-pole nephroureterectomy with excision of the ureterocele and cross-trigonal ureteral reimplantation.
