  • Title: Ureteral necrosis in dermatomyositis.
    Author: Borrelli M, Prado MJ, Cordeiro P, Wroclawski ER, Monteiro Júnior J, Kiss MH, Saldanha LB, Arap S.
    Journal: J Urol; 1988 Jun; 139(6):1275-7. PubMed ID: 3373599.
    Abstract:
    We describe a child with dermatomyositis and calcified necrosis in the middle third of both ureters. Histopathological examination showed vasculitis associated with ureteral necrosis and calcification. These findings together with a similar previous report in the literature have prompted us to correlate dermatomyositis in childhood with ureteral necrosis and to anticipate specifically a lesion in the middle third of the ureter because of the relative lack of blood flow in that segment.
