A case of ureteral malignant lymphoma diagnosed by laparoscopic needle biopsy.
A pathological diagnosis of a lesion in the ureteral wall is often attended with a difficulty. We report a case of a 54-year-old man who presented a thickening of the ureteral wall and diffuse swelling of paraaortic lymph nodes diagnosed as a non-Hodgkin lymphoma by a laparoscopic needle biopsy. This is a safe and useful technique by which target tissues can be surely obtained.
