Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Metastatic adenocarcinoma can present with diverse clinical manifestations.
  • Ureteral obstruction is a potential complication of advanced malignancies.

Observation:

  • An unusual case of bilateral ureteral obstruction was identified.
  • The obstruction was secondary to metastatic adenocarcinoma of unknown primary origin.

Findings:

  • Metastatic adenocarcinoma from an unknown primary site can cause bilateral ureteral obstruction.
  • Tissue confirmation is essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

Implications:

  • Awareness of this rare presentation is important for clinicians.
  • Chemotherapy may be a viable treatment option for select patients with this condition.
