An 82-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with a palpable mass in her right lower abdomen. The mass was enlarged and tender for the previous 3 months. Abdomen-pelvic computed tomographic scan demonstrated severe right hydroureteronephrosis and about an 8x8x9cm sized huge irregular shaped pelvic mass. Retrograde pyelography showed complete obstruction of the right middle ureter. En bloc resection of the mass and segmental resection of the ureter was performed. Pathologically, it was diagnosed primary leiomyosarcoma of the ureter. At 3 month postoperatively, there has been no recurrence or metastasis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
