| Abstract |
|
We describe a rare case of inflammatory spindle cell tumour of the ureter in a patient who presented with renal colic and macroscopic haematuria. Pyeloscopy revealed a partially obstructing mass at the proximal right ureter which confirmed a myofibroblastic tumour on biopsy. Radical nephrectomy was performed which confirmed a spindle cell tumour of the ureter confined to the resection margins. Follow-up imaging in 12 months did not illustrate recurrence or metastasis. The decision to perform a nephrectomy was due to the limited experience with this tumour. Reports illustrate that this tumour is unlikely to metastasize, and thus be managed conservatively. |
