title: Maximal displacement of the ureter by a liposarcoma.
abstract: We describe a patient with displacement of both ureters to the right side caused by a liposarcoma. The left ureter was displaced beyond the right ureter. The risk of intraoperative trauma to the ureter could be minimized by preoperative placement of ureteral stents.
