A 73-year-old man with advanced prostate cancer (stage D2) also had multiple ureteral diverticula. Treatment focused on the cancer, leaving the ureteral condition unaddressed. This case highlights rare co-occurring conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Oncology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Prostate adenocarcinoma is a common malignancy in older men.
  • Advanced prostate cancer (stage D2) often presents with bone metastasis.
  • Ureteral diverticula are rare congenital or acquired outpouchings of the ureteral wall.

Observation:

  • A 73-year-old male presented with urinary symptoms, diagnosed with stage D2 prostate adenocarcinoma.
  • Imaging revealed multiple ureteral diverticula and mild left hydronephrosis.
  • The patient received fosfestrol for prostate cancer; ureteral diverticula were not treated.

Findings:

  • The case describes a rare co-occurrence of advanced prostate cancer and multiple ureteral diverticula.
  • Bone scintigraphy confirmed widespread bone metastases, characteristic of stage D2 disease.

  • Intravenous pyelography identified multiple outpouchings in the mid left ureter.

    • Implications:

    • This presentation underscores the importance of comprehensive diagnostic evaluation in patients with complex urological and oncological conditions.
    • The management strategy highlights the prioritization of life-threatening malignancy over incidental findings.
    • Further research into the incidence and management of co-existing ureteral diverticula in prostate cancer patients is warranted.
