Abdom Imaging. 2007 Sep-Oct;32(5):675-7. doi: 10.1007/s00261-006-9163-3.

Abstract

Intussusception of the ureter is a rare complication of some ureteral diseases. A 49-year-old man was found to have a ureteral intussusception in the middle part of the right ureter accompanied by a polyp below the invaginated segment of the ureter. Surgery confirmed the diagnostic imaging findings. Here, we present a case of ureteral intussusception associated with a fibroepithelial polyp and discuss the radiological characteristics.
