Fibroepithelial polyps are rare ureteral tumors in children. This case highlights successful resection and kidney preservation, advocating for conservative management to avoid unnecessary nephrectomy.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Urology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Renal Pathology

Background:

  • Fibroepithelial polyps (FEPs) are rare benign ureteral tumors.
  • Distinguishing FEPs from malignant ureteral tumors in children is challenging.
  • Unnecessary nephrectomy is a risk due to diagnostic difficulties.

Observation:

  • The sixteenth reported case of a pediatric fibroepithelial polyp of the ureter is presented.
  • The child's FEP was successfully resected.
  • The affected kidney was preserved following the intervention.

Findings:

  • Successful surgical resection of a pediatric ureteral fibroepithelial polyp.
  • Demonstration that renal preservation is achievable in these cases.
  • Highlighting the rarity of FEPs in pediatric patients, with only 16 reported cases.

Implications:

  • Emphasizes the importance of renal preservation in pediatric urological interventions.
  • Suggests that conservative management should be considered for suspected FEPs in children.
  • Aims to reduce the incidence of unnecessary nephrectomies in pediatric patients with ureteral tumors.
