Abstract

We report a case of metastatic signet ring cell carcinoma of the ureter, The patient a 50-year-old man, presented with pain in the left flank. Radiologic examination revealed partial obstruction in the mid-portion of the left ureter. Microscopically, numerous signet ring cells were infiltrated in the muscle and serosa. Although multiple bone metastases were noted, the primary site was not identified after complete clinical examination in this case, which is unique to us and may be of interest to others.
