Cystoids of the Ureter

Ureteral cystoids are numerous cylindrical or oblong, well-formed histological structures that represent an accumulation of tissue of the ureteral wall surrounded by its own membrane. These structures can arise anywhere in the ureter and affect both the proximal and distal parts. They often occur in older women

The ureter is a paired tubular organ that connects the renal pelvis with the bladder, located in the small pelvis above the pubis (symphysis pubis). Blood supply is provided by the renal artery. The thickness of the walls of the ureters reaches 9-12 mm in the area of ​​​​the transition to the bladder. Normally, the internal walls of the urinary tract are smooth; all thickenings and folds are observed with the development of various diseases of the genitourinary system. Let's look at them in more detail.

The vaginal process of the ureter is characterized by developed fatty tissue in the outer membrane. Another anomaly is a decrease in the structure of the ureter itself - this condition is called ureteral dystopia, i.e. incorrect location of the organ. If you live in sparsely populated regions of Russia or in the Far North, do not be alarmed when urinating, if during an exacerbation a dark yellow substance is squeezed out of your urethra
