title: Carcinoma of the ureter.
abstract: A case of primary carcinoma of the ureter is presented. The features of 12 previous cases are summarised and discussed with reference to the literature. The tumour occurs most commonly in the sixth and seventh decades and is often diagnosed late. Subsequent bladder tumours are common, so vigilant follow-up is necessary.
