Repair of iatrogenic ureteral injury secondary to breast cancer metastasis

Abstract

We present a case of unforeseen ureteral metastasis from a primary breast cancer. A ureteral injury leak was postoperatively recognized after a hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy were performed. Subsequent repair with a psoas hitch ureteral re-implant was performed and breast cancer metastasis was discovered in the ureteral stump specimen. Keywords: Breast, Ureter, Metastasis, Re-implant
