Summary
Benign renal pelvis polyps are rare. This case study details a unique benign fibroepithelial polyp found in the renal pelvis of a 68-year-old woman.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Pathology
- Oncology
Background:
- Benign tumors of the renal pelvis are exceptionally rare.
- Fibroepithelial polyps are uncommon renal neoplasms.
Observation:
- A 68-year-old woman presented with a right renal sinus mass.
- Right nephrectomy was performed for the identified mass.
Findings:
- Histological examination revealed a polypoid angiofibromatous lesion.
- The final pathological diagnosis was a benign fibroepithelial polyp of the renal pelvis.
Implications:
- This case expands the differential diagnosis for renal pelvis masses.
- Highlights the importance of histopathology in differentiating benign from malignant renal tumors.
