Non-traumatic uriniferous pseudocyst. Report of a case.
A non-traumatic uriniferous pseudocyst was incidentally found at autopsy in a patient with invasive urothelial carcinoma involving ureteral orifices. Massive paraaortic lymph node involvement by the metastic tumor in addition to the ureteral obstruction was considered responsible for the formation of uriniferous pseudocyst. The pertinent clinical history and autopsy findings are presented and a possible mechanism of pseudocyst formation is discussed.
