Abstract
- Spontaneous ureteral rupture is rare, and refers to leakage in the absence of prior ureteral manipulation, external trauma, previous surgery, or any destructive kidney disease. It presents a major diagnostic challenge due to the diversity at presentation. Here, we present a rare case of spontaneous ureteral rupture in a 62-year-old man with a history of fungal pyonephrosis (Candida) on maintenance hemodialysis, causing a large infected urinoma and abscess and a review the literature.
