- (13)Hydronephrosis
Gross findings: The kidney presents marked dilatation of the pelvis (yellow dotted line). There is an elevated mass (blue dotted line) in the pelvicoureteric junction (red dotted line). The mass is histologically urothelial carcinoma, which causes stenosis of the urinary flow and increased intrapelvic pressure with subsequent hydronephrosis.
