Adult giant hydronephrosis is a rare clinical entity. His clinical diagnosis is not obvious. We report a case of a 42-year-old man, who was admitted for a large intra-abdominal mass, painless, evolving for about 8 months. The clinical examination showed a very distended abdomen. The abdominal CT confirms the diagnosis of left giant hydronephrosis on ureteral lithiasis. Surgical treatment consisted of an emergency percutaneous nephrostomy followed by a secondary left nephrectomy. The evolution was favourable and the aftermath were simple.

“…The diagnosis can performed by abdominal ultrasound or CT scan. According to the literature, it is often secondary to an obstruction of the ureteropelvic junction [3] . Our objective is to report a case of left giant hydronephrosis secondary to a left ureteral obstruction by lithiasis.…”

“…Our own case is of interest in that symptoms were delayed until adult life. Although ultrasound, renography and CT are all recommended for investigation [1,3], in this case CT provided most of the required information for evaluating renal cortical thickness and eliminating the presence of obstructing masses. The pelvic location and proximity of 'bowel loops made this more *cult on ultrasound.…”

A 29-year-old man presented with a 3 month history of painful swelling in the left iliac fossa and reduced urinary output. Physical examination revealed a mass in the left iliac fossa and an atrophic left testis. Serum urea (24.7 mmol/L) and creatinine (640 mmol/L) were elevated.Plain abdominal X-ray films showed a soft tissue mass in the left hemi-pelvis ( Fig. 1) which ultrasound scan and computed tomography (CT) (Fig. 2) confirmed to be a solitary hydronephrotic pelvic kidney with adequate cortical thickness. Percutaneous nephrostomy under CT guidance drained 1800 mL immediately from the dilatated collecting system. Biochemical indices returned to

“…The real incidence of giant hydronephrosis is difficult to estimate; about 170 cases have been reported [5]. It is probably estimated too low, since initial diagnosis is incorrect in 30-40% of patients.…”

A case of giant hydroureteronephrosis in a man is reported. Diagnostic evaluation included ultrasound, urethrocystoscopy and percutaneous puncture to assess the outline of the urinary tract and to locate a suspected ectopic ureteral orifice. Standard treatment usually consists of primary nephroureterectomy. A review of the literature with respect to etiology, diagnostic criteria and treatment modalities is presented.
