Two unusual conditions simulating ectopic ureterocele. Unilateral hydrometrocolpos with ipsilateral renal agenesis or hypoplasia, and ectopic ureteral opening into a seminal vesicle.
The clinical and radiologic findings in two infants are presented, one with unilateral hydrometrocolpos and ipsilateral renal agenesis or hypoplasia and the other with ureteral duplication with one of the ureters opening into a cystically dilated seminal vesicle. The excretory urograms of both infants suggested ectopic ureterocele. Further radiologic investigation, including lateral views of the bladder, led to the correct preoperative diagnosis. Both conditions are relatively rare, and their appearance simulating ectopic ureteroceleis even more uncommon.
