Summary
Intraluminal masses in the upper urinary tract are rare and typically benign fibroepithelial polyps. This case highlights a successful treatment of a renal pelvis fibroepithelial polyp, a lesion that can cause diagnostic challenges.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Pathology
Background:
- Intraluminal masses in the upper urinary tract are uncommon.
- Fibroepithelial polyps are the most frequent benign intraluminal masses, typically found in the ureters.
Observation:
- Lesions within the renal pelvis are exceptionally rare.
- These rare renal pelvis masses can present diagnostic difficulties.
Findings:
- A case of a fibroepithelial polyp located in the renal pelvis is presented.
- The patient with a renal pelvis fibroepithelial polyp underwent successful treatment.
Implications:
- This case contributes to the understanding of rare upper urinary tract pathologies.
- Successful management of renal pelvis fibroepithelial polyps is achievable.
