Abstract

A pelvic mass in women may be gynecologic in origin or it may arise from the urinary tract or bowel. Nonovarian or nongynecologic conditions may be confused with uterine or ovarian mass. The rare congenital megaureter should always be kept in mind as a possible cause of a pelvic mass. Congenital megaureter showed various clinicopathological features and frequently associated with ipsilateral or controlateral upper tract anomalies. Early meticulous imaging surgical correction will lead to excellent result. We experienced a rare case of blind ending megaureter which was suspected adnexal tumor in twenty seven-year-old woman. Here we present the case with brief review of literatures.
