title: [Primary adenocarcinoma of the ureter].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To discuss the diagnosis and treatment of primary adenocarcinoma of the ureter with presentation of a case.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A female patient presented with renal colic. Histological analysis showed a primary adenocarcinoma of the ureter. Segmental ureterectomy was performed with good results.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Adenocarcinoma of the ureter is not very frequent. Diagnosis is usually based on the histological findings. Segmental ureterectomy can be a surgical alternative.
