While the process usually involves the mid or upper portions of the ureters, involvement of the lower ureters, retroperitoneal vessels, kidneys, bladder, lungs, and mediastinum has been reported (1, 3, 5, 6, 18, 19). Multiple nonneoplastic etiologies have been surmised (3, 4, 6–8, 10, 11, 13, 15, 17, 22). Reticulum-cell sarcoma and Hodgkin's disease, however, have been implicated (9, 21). We wish to report 4 cases in which periureteric fibrosis was found in association with lymphosarcoma, 3 of which were without antecedent irradiation to the retroperi-toneum. Case I: In this 68-year-old white woman generalized adenopathy developed in 1960. Biopsy of a left axillary node disclosed lymphosarcoma (Fig. 1). Intravenous pyelography in November 1960 and again in January 1961 revealed bilateral hydronephrosis and proximal hydroureter (F... |
