Soft tissue masses obstructing the ureter are often malignant. This case highlights retrograde ureteral intussusception as a rare cause of ureteral obstruction, previously undescribed in recent literature.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Oncology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Ureteral obstruction necessitates prompt diagnosis and management.
  • Soft tissue masses in the ureter raise high suspicion for malignancy.
  • Differential diagnosis for ureteral obstruction is broad.

Observation:

  • A rare case of retrograde ureteral intussusception was identified.
  • This condition presented as a soft tissue mass causing ureteral obstruction.
  • The intussusception involved the ureter telescoping into itself.

Findings:

  • Retrograde ureteral intussusception can mimic malignant ureteral masses.
  • This specific cause of obstruction has not been previously documented in recent medical literature.
  • Diagnostic imaging may reveal characteristic findings suggestive of intussusception.

Implications:

  • Clinicians should consider intussusception in the differential diagnosis of ureteral obstruction.
  • Further research is needed to understand the etiology and management of this rare condition.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial to avoid unnecessary aggressive treatment for presumed malignancy.
