“…This true metastatic involvement of the ureters is an uncommon clinical situation and a very rare cause of ureteral obstruction ( 29 30 ). Since its first description in 1909, only around 400 cases have been reported ( 29 31 32 ). Autopsy studies have also revealed only rare occurrences of ureteral metastases, and in a series of 10233 consecutive autopsies, the incidence of ureteral metastasis was only 0.37% ( 33 ).…”

Secondary Tumors of the Urinary System: An Imaging Conundrum

Imaging features of metastases to the urinary system may closely mimic primary urinary tract tumors, and differential diagnosis by imaging alone may be problematic or even impossible in some cases. The main purpose of this article was to familiarize radiologists with imaging findings of metastasis to the urinary system on cross-sectional imaging, with an emphasis on abdominal and pelvic computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. In addition, we review the clinical importance and implications of metastases to the urinary tract and provide information on diagnostic work-ups.

“…Additionally, proposed application of postoperative chemotherapy could be appropriate for cases of peritoneal implantation of tumor cells in combine with peritoneum therapeutic approaches such as surgical treatment of the peritoneum [12] [13]. Carcinomas of the appendix may have a variety of clinical symptoms that may be associated with the tumor size and cellular atypia such as bladder symptoms [14] or in some cases unilateral ureteral obstruction [15] and bilateral obstruction of both ureters due to the size of the tumor [16].…”

Intoduction: The adenocarcinomas of the appendix are rare tumors of the gastrointestinal truct that often reveal no clear clinical symptoms and are not diagnosed in time. In this study, we analyze a rare case of an incidentally discovered adenocarcinoma of the appendix after appendicectomy. Case presentation: A Greek male patient of 37 years old patient presented to our hospital with signs of acute appendicitis and peritonitis. He underwent appendicectomy as therapeutic treatment. Post operational histological examination revealed in situ carcinoma of the appendix without high hematological tumor markers or visible metastasis in CT scan analysis. We decided to proceed to right hemicolectomy. The patient was discharged without complications and without displaying other symptoms in a monitoring interval of two months after surgery. Conclusion: Adenocarcinomas of the appendix are generally difficult to detect in the early stage leading to significant morbidity and mortality rates. Therefore, it is necessary to execute a very careful histopathological examination and perform a detailed intraperitoneal cleaning during operation, so that any indications of appendix adenocarcinomas in cases of appendectomy won't be missed or misjudged.

“…Studies have reported urological involvement due to direct invasion of tumour into the bladder [ 11 , 12 ]. Previously unilateral ureteral obstruction due to appendiceal carcinoma has been reported by a few authors [ 13 , 14 ]. A case of urinoma formation due to extravasation of urine secondary to ureteral obstruction by metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the appendix has been described in literature [ 15 ].…”

Adenocarcinoma of the appendix presenting as bilateral ureteric obstruction

et al. 2008

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: Adenocarcinoma of the vermiform appendix is a rare neoplasm of the gastrointestinal tract. Presentation mimics acute appendicitis, but right iliac fossa mass and intestinal obstruction have also been reported. These presentations reflect various stages of a locally expanding tumour causing luminal obstruction of appendix. The investigation and subsequent management with a review of the literature is presented.
