Abstract

The incidence of schistosomiasis in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is low; although the presence of ureteric schistoso- miasis is low, its presence in association with the other complications is considered a rare event among males, especially in a country like KSA. The objective was to study a 56-year-old Saudi Arabian male, who presented with scistosomiasis in ureter with the development of transitional-cell carcinoma instead of squamous-cell carcinoma. An investigation was carried out in this case by repeated cystoscopes and biopsies for histopathological examinations, as well as several imaging procedures such as plain X-ray, CT, and MRI along with several lab assessments. The presence of all these complications in this patient makes this a case of special interest. This will reflect on conducting further research workup for accurate estimation of schistosomiasis in Saudi Arabia.
