title: Double trouble--ureteric obstruction due to bilateral urothelial carcinoma.
abstract: Upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) represents -5% of all urothelial carcinomas. Synchronous bilateral tumors are extremely rare with only 19 reports in the literature. Haematuria is the main presenting complaint. We report a case of synchronous bilateral tumors of the ureters in a gentleman with frank haematuria treated with staged aggressive resection.
