    Summary

    A rare benign ureteric polyp mimicked a ureteric stone, presenting a diagnostic challenge. This case highlights the importance of considering benign tumors in ureteral pathology evaluations.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Ureteric stones are common, causing significant patient discomfort and diagnostic challenges.
    • Benign ureteric tumors are rare, often presenting with nonspecific symptoms that can mimic other conditions.

    Observation:

    • This report details a rare case where a benign ureteric polyp presented with clinical symptoms indistinguishable from a ureteric stone.
    • The polyp's presentation mimicked the typical obstructive and pain patterns associated with ureteral calculi.

    Findings:

    • Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a benign ureteric polyp.
    • The case underscores the diagnostic difficulty in differentiating benign polyps from ureteric stones based on clinical presentation alone.

    Implications:

    • Accurate diagnosis of benign ureteric tumors is crucial for appropriate management and to avoid unnecessary interventions for presumed stones.
    • This case contributes to the literature on rare ureteric pathologies, emphasizing the need for a broad differential diagnosis in urology.
