    Abstract:
    The ectopic ureter opening to the seminal vesicle is uncommon in the male and even less in a duplex kidney. It commonly presents as recurrent urinary infection with pelviperineal pain. Treatment is by heminephrectomy with total ureterectomy and removal of the seminal vesicle if it is cystic. Herein we describe a 70-year-old patient who had previously undergone a heminephrectomy and partial ureterectomy due to an ectopic ureter opening to the seminal vesicle of the ureter of the upper pelvis of the left kidney. The patient was submitted to a second ureterectomy procedure due to pyoureter in the ureteral stump. The main features of this pathological condition are described and the surgical approach is discussed.
