of the
ureter
which caused obstruction. This 'one-organ' localization is very rare and raises diagnostic problems.

We report a rare case of
sarcoidosis
of the
ureter
in a 65-year-old Japanese man. Left nephroureterectomy and regional lymph node dissection were performed under the clinical diagnosis of transitional cell carcinoma of the left
ureter
with lymph node metastasis. Microscopically, noncaseous epithelioid granuloma with large Langerhans cells was noted in the
ureter
and dissected lymph nodes. Pulmonary lesions were not found on computed tomography. The final diagnosis was
sarcoidosis
of the
ureter
. Although
sarcoidosis
is rare in the genitourinary tract, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of urologic conditions.

Rosai-Dorfman disease is a rare condition with poorly understood pathogenesis at this time. Although it often involves the lymph nodes, it can present nearly anywhere at extranodal sites. Patients are frequently asymptomatic, but surgical debulking is currently the only method of treatment that has shown benefit for patients requiring intervention. This case report discusses a unique presentation of Rosai-Dorfman disease involving the
ureter
of a 49-year-old woman with known history of
sarcoidosis
, discovered incidentally on routine CT scan.
