Abstract
We report a case of secondary squamous cell carcinoma of the appendix causing spontaneous extravasation of urine and urinoma formation. On t he basis of clinical findings, we interpret this rare lesion as metast atic from a cervical carcinoma surgically resected 8 years earlier. Ur eteral continuity was restored by retrograde catheterization and the u rinoma was drained percutaneously. The final diagnosis was made at lap arotomy.
