Abstract
The first reported case of complete obstruction of the ureter secondary to calcified metastatic lymph nodes is reported. Clinical diagnosis was made on the basis of x-ray studies and confirmed at postmortem examination. The nodes showed a coarse granular type of calcification which is characteristic of metastatic mucin-producing adenocarcinoma of the colon. If this type of calcification is noted in the pelvis, an intravenous urogram should be performed to exclude hydronephrosis secondary to nodal compression and obstruction.
