Ureteral intussusception associated with a fibroepithelial polyp: a case report

Area of Science:

• Urology
• Radiology
• Pathology

Background:

• Intussusception is a rare condition affecting the ureter.
• Fibroepithelial polyps are benign ureteral tumors.
• Diagnosis often relies on characteristic imaging findings.

Observation:

• A 67-year-old man presented with intussusception of the right ureter.
• The condition was associated with a fibroepithelial polyp.
• Radiological examination revealed classic concentric and line signs.

Findings:

• Multidetector row computed tomography (MDCT) with multiplanar reconstruction facilitated diagnosis.
• Specific radiological findings supported the diagnosis of ureteral intussusception.
• Qualitative tumor diagnosis remained challenging.

Implications:

• This case highlights the importance of recognizing specific radiological signs for diagnosing rare ureteral intussusception.
• Advanced imaging techniques like MDCT are crucial for diagnosis.
• Further investigation may be needed for definitive tumor characterization.
