Cystoscopy showed no mucosal abnormality. Retrograde pyeloureterography revealed bilateral distal ureteral strictures, but urine cytology from ureteral catheters was negative. Imaging revealed a submucosal mass on the right dorsal bladder wall. Urothelial carcinoma was diagnosed on a computed tomography\u2010guided percutaneous trans\u2010extraperitoneal and transvesical biopsy. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy was administered and radical cystectomy performed. Pathology confirmed invasive urothelial carcinoma originating from the right intramural ureter at the ureterovesical junction with bladder muscle invasion.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This case highlights the diagnostic challenges of intramural ureteral urothelial carcinoma presenting as a submucosal bladder tumor.
