We reported a case of ureteric tumor, an uncommon disease presenting with colonic obstruction. This 52-year-old lady presented with history of colicky pain left lower abdomen for 5 months. Colonoscopy revealed circumferential nonnegotiable stricture at 25 cm from anal verge, and colonoscopic biopsy was inconclusive. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) showed a growth involving sigmoid colon and left ureter with proximal left hydroureteronephrosis with nonfunctioning left kidney. Guided fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) showed features of an adenocarcinoma. The patient was operated with a diagnosis of carcinoma colon and underwent low anterior resection with left nephroureterectomy. Histopathology of resected specimen revealed ureteric transitional cell carcinoma with colon infiltration. She had smooth postoperative recovery.

“…Distant metastases to the ureters have been associated with carcinomas of the breast [10], colon and rectum [10], stomach [3,14], prostate [ 10], bronchus and lung [ 1,30], pancreas [37], gall bladder [39] and cervix [10], Several mechanisms may underlie the ureteral ob struction due to tumor involvement. Direct extension of tumors usually does neither involve the ureteral wall nor encircle it, and the obstruction is due to external pressure [4,32].…”

“…Encasement and constriction are relatively more common than invasion of the ureteral wall. The former type of lesion has been reported in malignancies of breast, ovary, cervix, jeju num, sigmoid colon, rectum and penis [4], while the latter lesion has been observed with carcinomas of the prostate, rectum, pancreas, breast, thyroid and melanomas of the skin [4], Ureteral involvement with malignant lesions is twice as frequent in females than in males, most likely due to pel vie and breast cancer [1,5,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]32,35,37], The presence of certain clinical and biochemical features in a patient with malignant tumor may suggest ureteral in volvement. These features include rising blood urea ni trogen and creatinine, abdominal pain, low backache.…”

“…This conclusion is further supported by the evaluations of patients, with cancer who had ureteral involvement (table II). Of the 460 patients with ureteral involvement, 96 (21%) were due to carci noma of the breast [1,2,[4][5][6][7][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. Our two patients also had carcinoma of the breast and presented with renal failure and uremia due to ureteral obstruction.…”

Acute Renal Failure Due to Bilateral Ureteral Obstruction by Metastases from Breast Cancer

Two female patients with metastatic breast carcinoma had acute renal failure secondary to metastatic ureteral obstruction. Retrograde pyelography showed bilateral segmental constriction and dilatation of the ureters with hydronephrosis. Drainage procedures reversed the renal failure in both patients. A review of the literature indicates that ureteral involvement is frequent in patients with malignancies.

“…Furthermore, damage to the kidney is caused by chemotherapy and/ or radiation therapy when the kidneys are included in the radiation field [15]. Kirkinen [16] and other investigators [17] indicated that further that urethral obstruction from radiation therapy might occur as early as three weeks or as late several years after therapy, it was potentially curable. Therefore, the estimation of renal function as well as the detection of bone metastases is useful in patients that received radiation therapy for detecting undermine renal disorders, and prevent those with high risk of renal abnormalities from going to irreversible stage.…”

This study was performed to evaluate the usefulness of bone tracer 99m TC-MDP in detecting renal disorders by imaging of renal cortex for patients with cortical defect and estimation of split renal function (SRF) as compared with renal cortical imaging agent 99m TC-DMSA. In this study 23 patients (6 males, 17 females) with range age of 16y -75y (mean 45.6y ± 17.4y), and a total of 46 studies (using both 99m TC-DMSA and 99m TC-MDP per patient for left and right kidneys) were performed for detecting renal disorders. Both studies were performed within 48 hours between each other. SRF was calculated in all cases from renal uptake of the tracers into the region of interest by using computer acquired data of gamma camera. For detecting renal cortex abnormalities, all cortical scars and defects scars seen on 99m Tc-DMSA scan were also detected by 99m Tc-MDP.The results showed that the non visualized kidney on 99m TC-DMSA scan was also non visualized on 99m TC-MDP. Also, there was a high correlation between SRF values obtained from 99m TC-MDP and 99m TC-DMSA, where (p>0.01, r= 0.93 for left kidney and r=0.0.92 for right kidney).The similar SRF values of 99m TC-MDP and 99m TC-DMSA allow to use of 99mTC-MDP tracers for detecting both of bone and renal abnormalities.
