Spontaneous rupture of the renal pelvis and ureter is associated with obstruction of the urinary collecting system, but is rarely caused by tumors. We describe our experience with a patient who had uterine cervical cancer with mild hydroureter in whom spontaneous ureteral rupture occurred during concurrent chemoradiotherapy. The patient was a 66-year-old woman with stage IIIB uterine cervical c...

We report an unusual case of spontaneous rupture of leiomyosarcoma arising in pre-existing calcified uterine leiomyoma, which has been monitored over the years after menopause. This case also suggests that spontaneous intrape...
