Neoplasms at the site of ureterocolic anastomosis.
This paper discusses one of the more uncommon sequelae of ureterocolic anastomosis, namely the formation of tumours at the site of anastomosis. This is a very rare complication and until 1971 the literature recorded only 28 cases of this phenomenon. This present communication adds 2 more cases to the literature--a unilateral tumour and bilateral tumours at the site of anastomosis.
