Fibroepithelial polyps of the ureter
Abstract:
Two cases of ureteric fibroepithelial polyps are presented. Macroscopic haematuria and flank pain were seen as symptoms in both cases. Intravenous urography, retrograde ureteropyelography, computed tomography, and ureterorenoscopy with visual biopsies were used as diagnostic methods. As a result of the preoperative diagnostics, saving surgical procedures (local excision and coagulation of the base of the tumour) were used with good results. The therapy of ureteric tumours should always be founded on the preoperative histological diagnosis and should be conservative transureteric or open surgical.
