Fibroepithelial Polyp of the Ureter: A Rare Cause of Hydronephrosis.
Background: Fibroepithelial polyps of the urothelial system are rare and are considered to be benign tumors. Ultrasonography (USG), contrast-enhanced CT, and contrast-enhanced MRI can be used for detecting fibroepithelial polyps in the urothelial system. These polyps can be treated by performing open exploration and endoscopic or laparoscopic resection. Previous studies have also reported the frequent use of laser treatment for treating fibroepithelial polyps located in the proximal ureter. Case Presentation: A 54-year-old female patient presented to our clinic with right flank pain. Evaluation of the patient by performing USG and CT detected grade-2 hydronephrosis of the right kidney; however, no stone was detected in the urinary system. MRI detected thickening of the wall of the right proximal ureter along with contrast enhancement. These findings suggested the presence of a ureteral polyp. Ureterorenoscopy detected a 7-cm-long ureteral polyp in the proximal ureter, which was resected by performing monopolar cautery. Conclusion: Although fibroepithelial polyps of the urinary tract are rare, they should be considered in the absence of urinary calculi and in the presence of a ureteral obstruction. Furthermore, careful endoscopic resection by performing electrocautery is a safe and useful method for treating ureteral lesions.
