Desmoid fibromatosis involving the ureter: A rare presentation with intraoperative challenges

Abstract

Following failed retrograde and antegrade ureteric stenting, a 35-year-old male patient underwent an elective boari flap for marked proximal hydroureteronephrosis due to a periureteric mass in the right iliac fossa. Intraoperative vascular surgical assistance was required for control of arterial bleeding due to friable vessel wall. Histopathology demonstrated desmoid fibromatosis.
