[Ureteral pseudodiverticulosis. Case report].

OBJECTIVES

To report a new case of bilateral ureteral pseudodiverticulosis associated with a transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder.

METHODS

70 year-old male patient under ambulatory study for hematuria.

RESULTS

The intravenous urography (IVU) shows images of addition in relation to bilateral ureteral pseudodiverticulosis. Urine cytology and cystoscopy showed the existence of a concomitant tumor.

CONCLUSIONS

The diagnosis of ureteral pseudodiverticulosis is incidentally made on an IVU indicated for other reasons. Although it is a benign pathology, it is necessary to follow these patients because of its association with transitional cell carcinoma.
