[A case of megaureter].
The terminology of megaureters, their histological findings and etiology vary greatly in the literature. We encountered an obstructed megaureter in a 39-year-old man. He complained of epigastral and left flank pain. X-ray examination showed a right marked hydronephroureter which compressed the bladder and left ureter. We performed right nephroureterectomy. Postoperative course was uneventful and his clinical condition improved.
