title: Complete bilateral crossed ureteral duplication observed during a radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy for ovarian cancer. A case report.
abstract: Complete bilateral ureteral duplication is a rare malformation. We report the case of a patient diagnosed with ovarian cancer, in which complete crossed bilateral ureteral duplication was observed during a planned radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy operation. If unilateral duplication is observed on one side, the existence of a similar malformation on the opposite side should always be suspected. Although bilateral ureteral duplication is an even rarer malformation than unilateral, it should be always considered as a differential diagnosis.
