Hutch diverticulum arises from the compromised muscular development at the ureteral orifice. It is a congenital disease and extremely rare in adult, only accounting for about 3% occurrence worldwide. It can be either symptomatic or asymptomatic, and relies on image tools for diagnosis and preoperative planning. Indications for surgery are dependent on the complications from the diverticulum. Metaplasia is about 10% among those with hutch diverticulum, and it still has chances turning into malignancy, especially urothelial cell carcinoma.
