This is a report on a case of blind-ending ureter. The patient was a 56-year-old female who had complained of a pain in the left flank. There was no urinary tract infection. ⋯ Histologically, it had all layers of the ureteral structure, but no renal tissue was found. The post-operative course was uneventful. We collected 55 cases of blind-ending bifid ureters reported in Japan including our own and discussed the difference between blind-ending bifid ureter and ureteral diverticulum.
