[Extravesical ureteral ectopy: report of 2 cases].

Area of Science:

• Urology
• Pediatric Surgery
• Congenital Malformations

Background:

• Extravesical ureteral ectopia is a rare congenital anomaly where the ureter empties outside the bladder.
• It can be associated with other genitourinary abnormalities, presenting complex clinical scenarios.

Purpose of the Study:

• To present two distinct cases of extravesical ureteral ectopia in different sexes.
• To discuss the clinical peculiarities, surgical management, and etiopathogenic/diagnostic challenges of this malformation.

Main Methods:

• Case report presentation of two patients with extravesical ureteral ectopia.
• Review of clinical findings, associated anomalies, and surgical interventions.
• Discussion of diagnostic and etiopathogenic aspects.

Main Results:

• Case 1: Female with extravesical ureteral ectopia and complete bilateral duplication of urinary tracts.
• Case 2: Male with extravesical ureteral ectopia, cryptorchidism, and micropenis.
• Both cases highlight the varied clinical presentations and associated anomalies.

Conclusions:

• Extravesical ureteral ectopia requires careful evaluation due to potential associated anomalies.
• Surgical management should be tailored to the specific presentation and associated malformations.
• Understanding the etiopathogenesis and diagnostic challenges is crucial for optimal patient care.
