A patient with a tumor in the right pelvic ureter is described herein. Following diagnosis by ureteroscopy, the patient underwent TUR utilizing a ureteroresectoscope. No short- or long-term complications were observed. The scant number of cases in the literature and the advantages afforded by this technique (noninvasive, short duration of hospital stay, etc.) prompted us to report this case.
