title: [A case of metastatic ureteral tumor from rectal cancer].
abstract: A 67-year-old man was referred for further examination of left hydronephrosis. He had undergone anterior resection for rectal cancer 2 years previously and also right lobectomy for a solitary hepatic metastasis one year postoperatively. Antegrade pyelography demonstrated a filling defect in middle portion of the left ureter. Cytology of the aspirated urine was class V. Left nephrourete-rectomy was performed. Histologically metastatic adenocarcinoma with intact ureteral mucosa was demonstrated.
