A 52 year old male with recent onset of right lower quadrant pain radiating to the right groin, associated with gross hematuria. Intravenous urogram at an outside hospital reported showed a right ureteral abnormality. On noncontrast series, no calcifications are identified in the region of either ureter. Following contrast administration, both kidneys appear normal.

No other filling defects are present in either ureter or bladder. The lung bases are clear. The liver, gallbladder, spleen, pancreas, adrenals, stomach, small and large bowel appear normal.
