title: Ureteral obstruction in a patient with Burkitt's lymphoma and AIDS.
abstract: Burkitt's lymphoma presenting as an intrinsic ureteral mass is rare. We report on an immunocompromised patient with hydronephrosis secondary to direct involvement of the ureter by this non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. This case illustrates one of the manifestations of AIDS and the treatment of this manifestation. The relationship of AIDS and its sequela to the genitourinary system is discussed.
