Solitary fibroepithelial polyp of the renal pelvis
Urologia Internationalis
|January 1, 1987
Abstract:
An unusual case of benign fibroepithelial polyp of the renal pelvis in a patient past middle age is presented. Peroperative frozen section microscopy should be done to prevent nephroureterectomy. The therapy was local excision. The postoperative course was uneventful.
Insights
A rare benign fibroepithelial polyp in the renal pelvis was found in an older patient. Frozen section microscopy during surgery can help avoid unnecessary kidney removal, with local excision being an effective treatment.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Pathology
- Surgical Oncology
Background:
- Benign fibroepithelial polyps are rare renal tumors.
- Renal pelvis tumors can present diagnostic challenges, potentially leading to radical surgery.
Observation:
- An unusual case of a benign fibroepithelial polyp of the renal pelvis is presented in a patient over middle age.
- The polyp was identified and treated in a single surgical procedure.
Findings:
- Peroperative frozen section microscopy is crucial for accurate intraoperative diagnosis.
- This diagnostic approach can prevent unnecessary nephroureterectomy for benign conditions.
Implications:
- Accurate intraoperative diagnosis via frozen section microscopy can guide surgical management for renal pelvis lesions.
- Local excision is a viable and effective therapeutic option for benign fibroepithelial polyps, preserving renal function.
