Ureteral duplication is a comparatively frequent urinary tract anomaly. Ureteral triplication is rare, but quadruplication is extremely rare. In this study, we describe a case of ureteral quintuplication, the first such report in the English-language literature. A newborn female baby was diagnosed with left ureteral quintuplication. The left ureter was divided into 5 ureters with 5 renal pelvises within approximately 3聽cm of the urinary bladder, and trace parenchyma of the kidney was noted. The patient was born within 60聽km of the epicenter of the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, 24聽years after the catastrophic nuclear accident, and is currently aged 3聽years.
