title: [ureterocele prolapse through the urethra: a case report].
abstract: We report a case of prolapse of a simple ureterocele presenting as perineural tumor. A 60-year-old woman presented with perineum pain and bleeding. A physical examination revealed a hard mass, 30 mm in diameter protruding from the external meatus. The computerized tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and cystography showed an uncharacterized tumor. Endoscopic examination was performed. However, just before resection the mass collapsed spontaneously and turned out to be a prolapse of ureterocele. No transurethral incision was performed. Eleven months postoperatively, the patient has not developed vesicoureteral reflux or urinary tract infection. Physicians should consider prolapse of a simple ureterocele in the differential diagnosis of the female meatal tumor.
