We report 2 cases of unusual ureteral tumor. A case appeared as bladder tumor causing ureteral obstruction by outgrowing of the tumor of terminal ureter into the bladder wall. The surface of bladder mucosa was intact. The other one presented as a large retroperitoneal mass causing obstruction of the external iliac vein such as an ovarian tumor. The literature is reviewed briefly.

A 68-yr-old man complaining of sudden, postprandial chest pain visited the emergency room. His symptom had been aggravated during the preceding two days. Upper gastrointestinal contrast study with gastrographin showed leakage of dye from the epiphrenic diverticulum in the lower third of the esophagus. The primary repair was urgently carried out. Upper gastrointestinal contrast study 14 days after operation revealed an esophageal leakage which was small and confined. The patient was managed with conservative treatments such as intravenous hyperali-mentation and broad-spectrum antibiotics. Forty-two days after the operation, a gastrographin swallow study showed the absence of leaks. This is the first report-ed case of a perforated epiphrenic esophageal diverticulum repaired by delayed primary repair in Korea.
