Benign urethral polyp of prostatic urethra

Area of Science:

• Urology
• Pathology

Background:

• Benign fibroepithelial polyps are rare urethral neoplasms.
• These lesions typically manifest with obstructive urinary symptoms.

Observation:

• The patient was a 59-year-old male, representing the oldest reported case in English literature.
• This contrasts with the usual pediatric occurrence of these polyps, often considered congenital.

Findings:

• The case underscores the potential for benign fibroepithelial polyps to occur in older adults.
• Discussion includes diagnostic approaches, associated urologic findings, and therapeutic strategies.

Implications:

• This case expands the known age range for benign fibroepithelial polyps.
• Further research may clarify the etiology and optimal management in adult populations.
