This case is the first reported presentation of obstructive anuria due to extrinsic ureteral compression in a patient with dermatomyositis. Further evaluation revealed disseminated sigmoid colon adenocarcinoma. Conservative treatment of ureteral obstruction by internal double-J stents achieved appropriate palliation.
