Angiomyoma is a rare benign tumor that can occur in any organ with smooth muscles. No one has already described an angiomyoma of the ureter.
We report the case of a 44 year old woman who presented with intermittent hematuria and left flank pain. The diagnosis of left ureteral tumor was evoked by the scannographic aspect. She underwent a radical nephro-ureterectomy. Final histological examination concluded to ureteral angiomyoma.
Angiomyoma is rare benign smooth muscle tumor with a vascular component. Symptomatology depends on the organ that angiomyoma is developed from, and is usually mimicking malignant tumors.
Symptomatology, radiologic findings are mimicking urothelial carcinomas, however the pathology corrected the diagnostic error.
血管平滑肌瘤是一种罕见的良性肿瘤，可发生于任何有平滑肌的器官。此前尚无输尿管血管平滑肌瘤的相关报道。
我们报告一例44岁女性，表现为间歇性血尿和左侧腰痛。扫描图像表现提示左侧输尿管肿瘤。她接受了根治性肾输尿管切除术。最终组织学检查确诊为输尿管血管平滑肌瘤。
血管平滑肌瘤是一种罕见的含有血管成分的良性平滑肌肿瘤。症状取决于血管平滑肌瘤所起源的器官，通常类似恶性肿瘤。
症状和影像学表现类似尿路上皮癌，但病理检查纠正了诊断错误。
