A rare case of obstructed megaureter in a 39-year-old man presented with flank pain. Surgical removal (nephroureterectomy) resolved the obstruction and improved his condition.

Area of Science:

Urology
Nephrology

Background:

Megaureters, characterized by dilated ureters, present diverse terminology and unclear etiology in medical literature.
Understanding the specific causes and histological features of megaureters is crucial for effective patient management.

Observation:

A 39-year-old male patient presented with epigastric and left flank pain.
Radiographic imaging revealed a significantly obstructed right hydronephroureter, causing compression of the bladder and left ureter.

Findings:

The patient underwent a right nephroureterectomy to address the obstruction.
Histological findings of the resected megaureter were not detailed in the provided abstract.

Implications:

This case highlights the importance of considering megaureters in adult patients with unexplained flank pain and hydronephrosis.

Surgical intervention, such as nephroureterectomy, can be an effective treatment for symptomatic obstructed megaureters.

Further research into the varied etiology and histological subtypes of megaureters is warranted to improve diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
