Popis:	50-year-old man was admitted to the hospital becauseof diminished urinary stream and postvoid leakage. Theanamnesis was inconspicuous. Sonography revealed dilationof the left ureter with a hydronephrosis grade II. Computedtomography (CT) showed an infrarenal thickening of theaortic wall (Figure 1A and 1B, arrowhead) and proximalvessel wall of the iliaca communis of both arteries (Figure1C, arrowhead). Furthermore, direct surrounding wall thick-ening of the vessels obstructed the left ureter (Figure 1C,arrow) with dilation of the proximal left ureter (Figure 1A,arrow). The urography phase of CT confirmed a hydrone-phrosis grade II (Figure 1D, asterisk).For further characterization, an (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucosepositron emission tomography (PET)–CT of the whole body
