Malignant obstructive uropathy can be a result of common genitourinary malignancies (i.e., ureter, prostate, bladder, or kidney) or extrinsic processes, such as colon and ovarian tumours. We present a case of uropathy caused by prostatic obstruction, which initially presented as a renal psuedo-tumour. We also review the relevant literature.
