[Fibroepithelial polyp of the urethra in a young woman].
Actas Urologicas Españolas 2001 May
OBJECTIVE: We present the case of a fibroepithelial polyp from the uretra of a young female, analysing the factors that make this an interesting case.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: A case-report of a fibrous polyp from the urethra of a young female, an analysis of its differential diagnosis and a review of the literature.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: The fibrous polyp of the urethra (fibroepithelual polyp, simple polyp, pedunculated polyp) is a rare benign epithelial tumour, more frequently encountered in males and in the posterior urethra. When it appears in females it is usually located in the external meatus and normally asymptomatic, although it can also present with a mictional syndrome, terminal hematuria or urethral hemorrhage. The differential diagnosis includes other benign epithelial tumours of the urethra, such as the caruncula, mainly the granulomatous, very difficult to differentiate, the squamous papilloma and the acuminated chondiloma. A clinical examination and histological study are necessary for a correct diagnosis, and treatment consists of surgical resection.
