Abstract
We report a case of an infiltrating retroperitoneal tumor that completely enveloped and obstructed the mid third of the left ureter. After resection of the tumor, including a 10 cm. long segment of ureter, the upper left ureter was successfully diverted to the upper calix of the right ectopic kidney (transureterocalicostomy). To our knowledge our report represents the first case of such surgery.
