Benign fibroepithelial polyp of the ureter
نویسندگان
چکیده
Benign tumors of the ureter are rare and most often appear in the form of fibroepithelial polyps [1]. Fibroepithelial polyps represent from 2 to 6% of all benign tumors of the urinary tract [2]. The Authors report on two cases of fibroepithelial polyps of the ureter, which they treated between 1993-2009. One case was presented by acute urinary retention and gross hematuria. In the second case, hematuria and flank pain were observed. The first case was treated with open surgery and partial resection of the ureter, the second was treated endoscopically when the base of the polyp was well identified.
