title: Prolapse of a single-system ureterocele causing urinary retention in an adult woman.
abstract: A 41-year-old woman presented with pelvic pain and a bulge from her urethra. On physical examination, she was noted to have a mucosal bulge from her urethra that intermittently squired urine. Further imaging showed single systems on both sides, no stones, and mild left-sided hydroureteronephrosis with a ureterocele. The ureterocele was endoscopically incised and excised, resolving her symptoms.
