Ureteric diverticula is classified as either congenital or acquired. The acquired form is further divided into false or ureter pseudo-diverticula. Of the various types, ureteric pseudo-diverticula have been associated with uro-epithelial tumour more often than expected. This report of a Chinese patient with ureteric pseudo-diverticula presenting with macroscopic haematuria is believed to be the first non-Caucasian to be reported in the literature.
