Non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the ureter: CT demonstration with pathologic correlation

Urol Radiol. 1992;14(3):183-7. doi: 10.1007/BF02926925.

Abstract

A case of a 42-year-old man with non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the ureter is reported. Diffuse lymphomatous infiltration of the ureter occurs rarely and is an uncommon cause of ureteral obstruction. Imaging-pathologic correlation is presented with CT images and autopsy specimens.
