, Vatche Melkonian, Tim Phillips, Christian Saliba, Shin Miyata, Jose GreensponAbstract |
We describe a case of congenital giant megaureter in a 16-year-old female. She presented with a 5-day history of abdominal distention, right flank pain and tenderness. Right pyelonephritis was suspected. Computerized tomography showed a large cystic abdominal mass with no appreciably functioning left kidney causing secondary compression of the contralateral right ureter.

Our experience suggests that congenital giant megaureter should be considered in the differential for pediatric patients presenting with a cystic abdominal mass.
