[Lithiasis in complete ureteral duplication and prostate cancer: combined surgery treatment]. | LitMetric

The diagnosis of congenital anomalies of the urogenital tract in the adult is uncommon. Complete ureteral duplication represents a congenital anomaly of the ureters, usually draining a duplex kidney, with a second orifice entering the bladder, urethra or other structures. In the majority of cases, this pathology is completely asymptomatic; sometimes it's diagnosed because of complications such as infections, hydronephrosis, lithiasis, or in the evaluation of the urinary tract. Early diagnosis of localized prostatic adenocarcinoma is increased due to worldwide use of PSA screening and the optimization of multiple biopsy, increasing radical surgery treatments. The association between these two pathologies is a rare event. We present the case of a 69-years old man diagnosed for localized prostatic cancer and bilateral complete ureteral duplication, megaureter and stenosis of left superior ureteral meatus, leading in the prostatic urethra. Terminal ureter with the ectopic meatus opening in prostatic urethra was occupied by stones. A combined surgical procedure was undertaken: radical prostatectomy, ectopic ureter section, lithiasis removal and reimplantation of left ectopic ureter into the bladder. There is no case described of the association of this urogenital anomaly and prostate cancer and the combined management of both.
