Abstract

Ureteral tumors are relatively uncommon, accounting for approximately 1.2% of all urothelial tumors. Metastatic ureteral tumors are even rarer. The primary lesions include breast, melanomas, bladder, colon, stomach, lung, and esophageal, prostate, ovarian, kidney, urethral and vaginal carcinomas. Patients usually have lumbar or flank pain, dysuria, frequency, and in the latter stages, anuria. We report a case of a metastatic ureteral tumor from a lung squamous cell carcinoma after complete remission.
