[Primary adenocarcinoma of the ureter].

Primary adenocarcinomas of the renal pelvis and ureter are very rare tumours, representing less than 1% of the malignant tumours of the ureter and the renal pelvis. A case of adenocarcinoma of the ureter in a 62-year-old woman with no prior history of urological disease is presented. The patient died postoperatively after nefrectomy due to rapid disease recurrence.
