Abstract

Abstract Hematogenous or lymphatic intraureteral metastasis from distant primary cancer is very rare. We present contrast-enhanced CT and FDG PET/CT findings in a case of intraureteral metastasis from colonic adenocarcinoma 3 years after colectomy. The intraureteral showed moderate enhancement on contrast-enhanced CT and increased FDG uptake on PET/CT mimicking a primary ureteral carcinoma. This case suggests that metastatic tumor of the ureter should be considered in the differential diagnosis in patients with hypermetabolic ureteral lesion and known malignancy.
