Pelvic ureteral angiomyoma mimicking urothelial carcinoma: A case report

Background: Angiomyoma is a rare benign tumor that can occur in any organ with smooth muscles. No one has already described an angiomyoma of the ureter.Case presentation: We report the case of a 44 year old woman who presented with intermittent hematuria and left flank pain. The diagnosis of left ureteral tumor was evoked by the scannographic aspect. She underwent a radical nephro-ureterectomy. Final histological examination concluded to ureteral angiomyoma. Discussion: Angiomyoma is rare benign smooth muscle tumor with a vascular component. Symptomatology de-pends on the organ that angiomyoma is developed from, and is usually mimicking malignant tumors.Conclusion: Symptomatology, radiologic findings are mimicking urothelial carcinomas, however the pathology corrected the diagnostic error.
