Ureteral obstruction in a transplant kidney caused by an ovarian tumor.
Ureteral obstruction in the transplant recipient can provide a diagnostic challenge. We report a case of ureteral obstruction 5 years after cadaveric renal transplantation due to an ovarian tumor. Magnetic resonance imaging provided essential anatomic information that eventually led to the diagnosis. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of ureteral obstruction in a transplant kidney caused by an ovarian tumor.
