Metastasis of gastric carcinoma to the ureter.
Metastasis of gastric carcinoma to the ureter is very rare. In most published cases, the diagnosis is only made at postmortem examination or when gross metastasis is present. This report presents a case in which the metastasis occluded the ureteral lumen from inside, and the diagnosis was made by histopathologic examination of a biopsy specimen taken during ureteroscopy.
