Abstract

Fibroepithelial polyp of the ureter is a extremely rare benign tumor which is mesodermal origin. It should be suspected preoperatively in cases with a long history of loin pain or hematuria, or both, in a younger patient with the radiologic finding of long ureteric filling defect. Unfortunately. in the majority of cases reviewed. the diagnosis was not made preoperatively but the diagnostic confirmation was made intraoperatively or postoperatively. Herein, we report a case of fibroepithelial polyp or the ureter which was diagnosed preoperatively with ureteroscope. The management was local segmental excision and end-to-end anastomosis of the ureter.
