[Hydronephrosis as the first manifestation of primary metastatic breast cancer].
Hydronephrosis as the first symptom of primary metastasised breast cancer is described in two case reports. The literature regarding this topic is also discussed. Although retroperitoneal metastases are rarely found, patients with breast cancer should undergo a regular sonographic control of the kidneys, simultaneously with the routine ultrasound of the upper abdomen.
