[Ureteral polyps].

Area of Science:

• Urology
• Neoplasms
• Medical Imaging

Background:

• Fibrous polyps of the ureter are rare benign neoplasms.
• Recent years have seen an increased incidence of these polyps.
• Standard treatment involves local resection of the affected ureter segment.

Observation:

• Diagnosis can be suspected through urography.
• Three patient cases illustrate the presentation and management of ureter polyps.
• Urography aids in differentiating polyps from malignant ureteral tumors.

Findings:

• Early suspicion of fibrous polyps via urography is crucial.
• Knowledge of the disease aids in accurate diagnosis.
• Conservative management is possible with timely diagnosis.

Implications:

• Accurate diagnosis can prevent unnecessary nephroureterectomy.
• Urography plays a key role in the diagnostic pathway.
• This approach preserves renal function and reduces surgical morbidity.
