Abstract

The fibroepithelial polyp of the ureter is a rare, benign tumor. Its pathogenesis is unclear, but most investigators agree that it arises from elements of mesodermal origin within the ureteral wall. Symptoms include hematuria and intermittent flank pain secondary to partial ureteral obstruction. Correct radiologic assessment is crucial to direct surgical management. We report a case of a fibroepithelial polyp of the ureter in a child in whom correct preoperative diagnosis was made by correlating the results of excretory urography, sonography, CT and urine cytology.
