Abstract
In this case we present a woman with arterial hypertension. Further examina tion showed an unilateral hydronephrosis caused by extrinsic compression. A tumoral mass, invading the caval inferior vein and the renal vein, is the very origin of the compression. This mass is a recidive of an endometrial s tromal sarcoma for which she had a hysterectomy in 1984.
