title: [Spontaneous renal rupture resulting from ureteral tumor left untreated for 6 years: a case report].
abstract: A 57-year-old man, 6 years after discovery of a left ureteral tumor was admitted to our hospital complaining of severe left abdominal pain. With the diagnosis of acute abdomen, the patient was examined by computed tomography, which showed severe left hydronephrosis with renal rupture. Retrograde and antegrade pyelography showed the hydroureteronephrosis due to the tumor in the lower ureter, so left nephroureterectomy was performed. The ureteral tumor was diagnosed as transitional cell carcinoma, grade 3 and pT2. The present case is the 9th case of spontaneous renal rupture caused by renal pelvic and ureteral tumors in Japan.
