A 33-year-old woman, para 1001, had pain in the inner right thigh and proximal right leg weakness. At surgery a locally invasive, fibrotic lesion was found encircling the right ureter, right internal iliac vein and obturator nerve. It extended to the periosteum of the ilium. The lesion was dissected successfully without damage to vital structures, and endometriosis was confirmed histologically.

We report a case in which a normal right common iliac artery in a normal anatomical relationship to the right ureter at the crossing point caused partial urinary tract obstruction apparently by an over pressure effect. The ureter was attached to the promontorium periosteum following ureterolysis to relieve the obstruction. To our knowledge, such a condition has not been reported previously. We believe that over pressure of the common iliac artery should be considered in the differential diagnosis of extrinsic ureteral obstruction, particularly in muscular subjects.

Granulocytic sarcoma is an extramedullary tumor which is composed of myeloblasts and immature myeloid cells. It usually occurs in association with acute myeloid leukemia and most commonly involves skin, soft tissue, lymph nodes, bone, and periosteum. We report a case of isolated ureteral granulocytic sarcoma without hematologic manifestations. Our patient presented with bloody urine and left-sided lumbar pain. Preoperative clinical and radiologic features raised the suspicion of an upper urinary tract transitional cell carcinoma, and he was scheduled for nephroureterectomy. However, perioperative pathologic feedback and the unusual endoscopic appearance of the tumor altered our surgical strategy towards segmental ureterectomy and ureteroneocystostomy. Eventual pathologic diagnosis was granulocytic sarcoma of the ureter. Postoperative workup failed to demonstrate any sign of an accompanying hematologic disorder. He started receiving the chemotherapy protocol of acute myeloblastic leukemia. To our knowledge, this is the first documented case of nonleukemic ureteral granulocytic sarcoma which came to attention due to urologic complaints.
