A Prolapsed Cecoureterocele in an Adult Treated Conservatively: Highly Rare, but Existent

Area of Science:

• Urology
• Pediatric Surgery
• Medical Case Reports

Background:

• Ectopic ureteroceles are frequent congenital anomalies of the urinary tract.
• These anomalies are typically diagnosed and managed during early childhood, particularly when prolapsed.
• Surgical intervention is the standard treatment for most ectopic ureteroceles.

Purpose of the Study:

• To report an unusual case of a prolapsed cecoureterocele in an adult.
• To highlight a successful non-surgical treatment approach for this condition.
• To discuss the management of ectopic ureteroceles presenting in adulthood.

Main Methods:

• Case presentation of a 26-year-old woman with a prolapsed cecoureterocele.
• Detailed medical history and diagnostic evaluation.
• Description of the non-surgical management strategy employed.

Main Results:

• The patient, a 26-year-old woman, presented with a prolapsed cecoureterocele.
• She had no prior history of ectopic ureterocele diagnosis.
• Successful treatment was achieved without surgical intervention.

Conclusions:

• Ectopic ureteroceles can present atypically in adulthood.
• Non-surgical management may be a viable option for selected cases of prolapsed cecoureteroceles.
• This case expands the understanding of ectopic ureterocele management.
