Transitional cell carcinoma in an ectopic ureter.
We experienced an 82-year-old man with transitional cell carcinoma in an ectopic ureter draining into the prostatic urethra. Carcinoma arising from an ectopic ureter is very rare and a differential diagnosis is difficult. To our knowledge, our case is the third male case reported in the literature.
