[Ureteral pseudodiverticulosis. Case report].
OBJECTIVE
To report a new case of bilateral ureteral pseudodiverticulosis associated with a transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder.


METHODS
70 year-old male patient under ambulatory study for hematuria.


RESULTS
The intravenous urography (IVU) shows images of addition in relation to bilateral ureteral pseudodiverticulosis. Urine cytology and cystoscopy showed the existence of a concomitant tumor.


CONCLUSIONS
The diagnosis of ureteral pseudodiverticulosis is incidentally made on an IVU indicated for other reasons. Although it is a benign pathology, it is necessary to follow these patients because of its association with transitional cell carcinoma.
