Résumé
Isolated ureteral involvement in urogenital tuberculosis is rare. The diagnosis can be difficult to evoke. The radiological aspect often evokes tumor involvement, hence the importance of mentioning this pathology in endemic countries. The purpose of this study is to show that it will be necessary to think of ureteral tuberculosis in the presence of ureteral thickening living in an endemic country. We reported a case of ureteric tuberculosis in a 46-years old man mimicking a tumor.
