| Ishizaki, et al., 2003 [5] | 72/M | Right flank pain with history of renal stone since 4 years | Sonography: right hydronephrosis Intravenous urography: right kidney doesn't visualized Retrograde pyelography: showed complete obstruction at the right ureter. Computed tomography and Magnetic resonance imaging: small calcified mass with partial enhancement at the same location as well as right hydronephrosis |
Upper part of ureter | Yes | Epidermoid cyst | No | Not applicable |
| Wang, et al., 2013 [14] | 31/M | Non | Sonography: Avascular lesion with onion-ring hyper and hypoechoic pattern. Computed tomography: cystic mass at right wall of the urinary bladder | Right lateral wall | Yes | Epidermal cyst | No | After 18 months no recurrence noted |
| Akyuz, et al., 2019 [4] | 59/F | Burning pain during urination | Sonography: three polypoidal lesions the largest being 6 mm in diameter | Left lateral wall | Yes | Epidermoid cyst | No | After 3 months no recurrence noted |
