ABSTRACT

Objective To raise the awareness of the glandularis ureteritis. Methods Five cases with glandularis ureteritis confirmed by pathological examination from Jan 2001 to Jun 2012 were reviewed. The diagnosis was assessed on histopathologic studies in all. The clinical manifestations, the diagnosis and treatment were discussed. Results Resections of the affected ureter and ureteroplasty were undertaken for 2 patients. Ureteronephrectomy was performed for 2 patients because of serious hydronephrosis due to obstruction. Electrofulguration via-ureteroscopy was carried out for another patient. All patients have been well and without recurrence on following up for 15 to 152 months, with an average of 86.6 months. Conclusion Glandularis ureteritis is not frequently seen and the etiopathogenesis is not yet clear. Biopsy is very important for suspected neoplasm of ureter before performing nephrectomy.
