title: Ureterocutaneous fistulas secondary to urinary calculous disease.
abstract: Fistulas of the ureter are uncommon and are usually secondary to trauma or iatrogenic in nature. Spontaneous rupture of the ureter is rare, usually ending in a periureteral abscess. Two cases of spontaneous rupture of the ureter secondary to calculous disease resulting in ureterocutaneous fistulas are described.
