Ureteral cancer first recognized by mechanical ileus due to intestinal metastasis.
We report a case of ureteral transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) first recognized because of mechanical ileus due to intestinal metastasis without definitive evidence of hydronephrosis or ureteral mass on plain computed tomography. We believe this to be the first case of ureteral TCC that was first recognized because of mechanical ileus due to small intestinal metastasis.
