ABSTRACT
Spontaneous urine extravasation due to metastatic cancer is extremely rare. We experienced a case of urine extravasation caused by ureteral metastasis from a cervical adenocarcinoma in a 69-year-old woman. On operating, a 3cm length ureter stricture was found in the upper third of the left ureter. There were no malignant cells in a frozen biopsy, and no urine leakage site was detected. An end-to-end ureteroureterostomy was performed by the tension-free method. The permanent histology of the ureterectomy specimen revealed a metastatic adenocarcinoma, identical to that obtained from the punch biopsy of the cervix. The urine leakage persisted following the end-to-end ureteroureterostomy, whereupon a nephroureterectomy was performed.
