Abstract

Ureterocele is a distal ureteral segment cystic dilatation. Its prevalence in women ranges from 1/5000 to 1/12000. A 22-year-old adult female presented with a vulvar tumor with left-side pain. She was a candidate for an interlabial lump biopsy. A vulvar growth mimicking a uterine polyp was identified during her further evaluation. On ultrasonography of the abdomen and pelvis, a left-sided hydronephrisis (grade 1), proximal ureteral dilatation, and a ureterocele related to the distal portion of the left ureter that protruded into the urethra were detected. Under anesthesia examination, the ureterocele was removed. © 2022 The Authors
