[Ureteral metastasis of prostatic adenocarcinoma. Review of the literature]

Abstract

We report a case of prostate adenocarcinoma metastatic to the ureter. This is the 25th case reported in the literature. The patient was submitted to surgery with the diagnosis of prostate carcinoma and unclassified ureteral tumor since the available preoperative diagnostic methods did not permit determining the nature of the tumor. Conservative ureteral surgery was performed and the prostate excised followed by androgenic block.
