Bladder displacement in itself was not associated with hydronephrosis. Such hydronephrosis developed, however, in 14 patients--13 with a presacral mass, and one with retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy. In 23 of the 52 patients a presacral mass appeared, either fibrosis, infection, or recurrence. Severe hydronephrosis was found only with malignancy.
