摘要：

Ureteral myxedema is exceptionally rare. We describe computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging findings in a case of ureteral myxedema. The demonstration of water-like hyperintensity around the ureteral lumen on heavily T2-weighted sequences should be considered a strongly suggestive sign for ureteral myxedema. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc.
