[Urinary tract involvement as the first clinical manifestation of adenocarcinoma of the colon].
A patient with a previous history of left renal colic and no evidence of passing calculi was admitted to hospital for exacerbation of the urinary condition. The IVP and US evaluation revealed a ureteral stop which appeared to be extrinsic on retrograde uretero-pyelography. Surgery disclosed a large urinoma in the lumbar fossa. The compromised ureteral segment was removed and the pathological analysis of the surgical specimen revealed infiltration from adenocarcinoma. A primary tumor was sought early postoperatively due to irregular constipation referred by the patient. Finally, adenocarcinoma of the sigmoid colon was found. Only 8 similar cases of urinoma from extravasation due to ureteral obstruction secondary to a tumor have been reported in the literature up to 1982.
