Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Fibrous polyps of the ureter, a rare benign neoplasm, are increasingly diagnosed. Early detection via urography can guide treatment, potentially avoiding nephroureterectomy.

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.
