Fibroepithelial polyps of the ureter

Area of Science:

• Urology
• Oncology

Background:

• Ureteric fibroepithelial polyps are rare benign tumors.
• They can present with symptoms like hematuria and flank pain.

Observation:

• Two cases of ureteric fibroepithelial polyps were analyzed.
• Diagnostic methods included intravenous urography, retrograde ureteropyelography, computed tomography, and ureterorenoscopy with biopsies.
• Symptoms observed were macroscopic hematuria and flank pain.

Findings:

• Preoperative diagnostics facilitated minimally invasive surgical procedures.
• Local excision and coagulation of the polyp base were successfully employed.
• Good clinical results were achieved with these conservative methods.

Implications:

• Therapy for ureteric tumors should prioritize preoperative histological diagnosis.
• Conservative transureteric or open surgical approaches are recommended.
• Minimally invasive techniques can be effective for treating ureteric fibroepithelial polyps.
