Ureteral diverticulosis is an uncommon pathology whose etiopathogenesis is not clear yet. The most reliable etiopathogenetic hypothesis for multiple diverticuli is the inflammatory one. We report a case of ureteral multiple diverticulosis associated with cystic ureteritis: it can be supposed that both pathologies were caused by a common inflammatory stimulus. We submitted the patient to follow-up by urinalysis, urinary citology and urography. At present the appearance of the ureteral lesions is unchanged.
