“…The most common etiology is chronic infection with or without calculus disease. However, there are also reports on fistulas caused by foreign bodies [2], trauma [3], primary duodenal pathology [4, 5], or iatrogenic secondary to instrumentation or operation [6]. The etiology in this case is either chronic infection and nephrolithiasis or an iatrogenic injury from the multiple episodes of instrumentation.…”

Background/Aims: Ureteroduodenal fistulas are rare and only 11 cases have been reported in the literature since 1918. Diagnosis requires careful observation of symptoms. Methods: The case presented demonstrates a 68-year-old female with left-sided ureteroduodenal fistula confirmed by CT scan. A duodenal fistula was localized and an atrophic left kidney was identified and repaired. Results: Nephroureterectomy was performed and an omental patch was used for the repair. No complications were encountered during the postoperative course. Conclusions: Recurrent chronic urinary tract infection, pyuria and hematuria can indicate this rare disease. Early testing and detection can improve the chances of renal preservation.

“…Because of those characteristics, it is quite difficult to distinguish among foreign body granuloma, RCC, and angiomyolipoma on the basis of imaging findings. Other differential diagnoses include transitional cell carcinoma, oncocytoma, lymphoma, leiomyoma, xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis, and Erdheim-Chester disease (2,3,(5)(6)(7) .…”

“…With the increase in the number of laparoscopic partial nephrectomies, the incidence of foreign body granuloma also increased (5) . When an expansile renal lesion exhibits calcifications, contains adipose foci, is well encapsulated, and shows no signs of infiltration of adjacent structures, the possibility of granuloma should be considered, especially if there is a history of surgical manipulation of the urinary tract (6) .…”

Letters to the Editor Ureterocolic fistula as an incidental finding after barium enema Dear Editor, A 42-year-old female patient who had undergone Hartmann's procedure for the treatment of colorectal carcinoma 7 months prior presented for preoperative evaluation before closure of the colostomy. She reported no clinical symptoms or comorbidities and stated that she had never received chemoradiotherapy. She was given a barium enema (Figure 1), after which there was opacification of the ureter and left renal collecting system, consistent with ureterocolic fistula. Although the fistulous tract was difficult to characterize, it appeared to be connecting the distal stump to the middle third of the left ureter. There was also late opacification of the bladder.
