Doppler sonographic diagnosis of primary transitional cell carcinoma of the ureter
Primary carcinoma arising in the urothelium of the ureter is rare, accounting for only 1% of all cancers of the upper urinary tract. We describe a case in which primary transitional cell carcinoma of the right ureter was sonographically detected in a 45-year-old woman. The mass exhibited tumoral vas...

| Zusammenfassung: | Primary carcinoma arising in the urothelium of the ureter is rare, accounting for only 1% of all cancers of the upper urinary tract. We describe a case in which primary transitional cell carcinoma of the right ureter was sonographically detected in a 45-year-old woman. The mass exhibited tumoral vascularity on power Doppler sonography and spectral analysis. |
