CT findings in three cases of ureteral metastases are reported. Metastases to the ureter is an uncommon cause of the upper urinary tract obstruction. The most common primary sites include breast, stomach and neoplasms from pelvic organs. Radiographic studies revealed an ureteral stenosis in all the presenting cases. CT scans demonstrated a thickened regular ureteral wall at the level of the narrowing and no other abnormalities of the retroperitoneum. Such CT features suggest the possibility of ureteral metastases in a patient with the appropriate clinical setting. Histological studies, whenever possible, must confirm these radiographic findings. Early recognition of ureteral metastases and appropriate treatment for relief of urinary tract obstruction may prolong survival time.
