ABSTRACT
This paper discusses one of the more uncommon sequelae of ureterocolic anastomosis, namely the formation of tumours at the site of anastomosis. This is a very rare complication and until 1971 the literature recorded only 28 cases of this phenomenon. This present communication adds 2 more cases to the literature--a unilateral tumour and bilateral tumours at the site of anastomosis.
