Paravaginal tumor: ureterolithiasis in an ectopic ureter.
A case of long-standing, undetected urinary tract malformation is presented. Over a period of 15 years the patient had gone for regular examinations by a gynecologist because of paravaginal tumor and urinary incontinence. Operation revealed urinary calculi in an ectopic ureter. Despite of life-long continuous urinary incontinence, an i.v. pyelography was never offered. Embryology, symptoms and an investigation program concerning ectopic ureter are presented.
