A case of calcified ureteritis cystica: an indiscernible condition from ureterolithiasis.

چکیده
Ureteritis cystica is characterized by formation of multiple cysts in the wall of the renal pelvis or ureter. The clinical course is usually slow, but manifests if the cysts cause infection or obstruction. Stones are further complication to the disease. In this case study, we present a 39-year-old male originally referred with renal colic and misdiagnosed as ureterolithiasis due to the calcifiying cysts.
