Ureteral tuberculosis

Ureter tuberculosis is caused by tuberculosis caused by tuberculosis of renal tuberculosis down to the ureter. It first invades the ureteral mucosa, gradually invades the submucosa and muscle layer, and forms ulcers.

It is more common in the bladder wall segment of the ureteral bladder junction, followed by the pelvic ureteral junction, and other parts can also occur, which can be segmental stenosis.
