腎盂尿管静脈瘤の1例

VARICOSIS OF THE URETER AND PELVIS: REPORT OF A CASE

緒言

　腎盂あるいは尿管の静脈が怒張し，なんらかの臨床所見を呈して来る疾患を静脈瘤の存在場所により腎盂静脈瘤，尿管静脈瘤，腎盂尿管静脈瘤，上部尿路静脈瘤などと呼んでいる。本症はまれな疾患であり，今までに欧米では17例，本邦では井上の1例が報告されているにすぎない。われわれは最近本症の1例を経験したので報告する。

It seems that Folson (1922) was the first to report on varix of the kidney pelvis and ureter but ever since 17 cases has been reported in the literature abroad and one case by Inoue (1968) has appeared in the Japanese literature which makes a total of 18 cases. Showing how rare this is. A case was reported and discussed.

Case is a 37 year old female with a history of treatment for left idiopathic renal bleeding 7 years ago and visited our clinic complaining left flank and hip pain without hematuria.
