  • a tumor of an Ectopic Ureter mimicking uterine cervix adenocarcinoma case report and brief review
    International Urogynecology Journal, 2009
    Co-Authors: Mehdi Jaidane, A Slama, Mohammed Bibi
    Abstract:

    Single system Ectopic Ureter is a rare congenital malformation of the urinary tract, frequently associated with genital tract malformations. We report the first case of an adenocarcinoma arising in an Ectopic Ureter in a woman and mimicking uterine cervical adenocarcinoma. A 34-year-old woman, previously diagnosed as having bicornuate uterus, presented with post-coital bleeding. On gynecological exam, there were two cervixes with a small nodule on the left cervix. After nodule biopsy, the initial diagnosis was adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix. Pelvic ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated an Ectopic tumoral Ureter draining a dysplastic pelvic kidney and inserted in the cervix of a bicornuate uterus. The patient was treated by radical hysterectomy and left nephroUreterectomy. Pathological exam demonstrated an adenocarcinoma arising in the Ectopic Ureter. We suggest that this case could be an argument for recommending regular follow-up for women with Ectopic Ureter for detecting malignant transformation.
