Fibroepithelial polyp of the ureter. A case history and discussion

A 46-year-old woman had a 13 cm long benign fibroepithelial polyp arising in the right lower ureter and prolapsing through the urethral meatus. She also had uterine fibromyomata. She made an uneventful recovery after laparotomy with supravaginal amputation of the uterus and resection of a 1-cm segment of the ureter. Benign fibroepithelial polyps very rarely recur and may be treated with local resection.
