A retroperitoneal urinoma secondary to metastatic urothelial carcinoma mimicking psoas muscle malignancy: Case Report and literature review
CTU plays a crucial role in diagnosing urothelial tumors, though its accuracy may be limited in patients with kidney dysfunction. The characteristic course of the ureter traversing a mass, along with hyper enhancing solid components at the obstructed distal ureter and adjacent tissues, can assist in accurate diagnosis and help reduce the risk of misdiagnosis. However, surgery for locally invasive tumors risks spreading cancer cells and worsening outcomes.
