    Ureteral metastases, a rare cause of urinary obstruction, can be identified by CT scans showing thickened ureteral walls. Early detection through CT imaging aids in timely treatment and improved patient survival.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Radiology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Ureteral metastases are an uncommon cause of upper urinary tract obstruction.
    • Primary cancer sites frequently associated with ureteral metastases include breast, stomach, and pelvic neoplasms.

    Observation:

    • This report details CT findings in three patients with ureteral metastases.
    • Radiographic studies indicated ureteral stenosis in all cases.
    • CT scans revealed a thickened, regular ureteral wall at the site of narrowing without other retroperitoneal abnormalities.

    Findings:

    • The characteristic CT features observed suggest ureteral metastases.
    • Histological confirmation is essential when feasible.
    • Recognizing ureteral metastases early is crucial for managing urinary tract obstruction.

    Implications:

    • Prompt diagnosis and treatment of ureteral metastases can alleviate urinary obstruction.
    • Effective management may contribute to prolonged patient survival.
    • CT imaging plays a vital role in the early identification of ureteral metastases.
