Laser Resection of Fibroepithelial Polyps with Digital Ureteroscopy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fibroepithelial polyps (FEPs) are rare benign upper urinary-tract neoplasms originating from mesodermal components of the ureteral wall covered in normal urothelial epithelium. Historically, these lesions have been treated with endoscopic, laparoscopic, or open means depending on the size, number, and morphology of the polyps. Digital ureteroscopy (DURS) offers many advantages over fiber-optic endoscopy, including superior resolution and potential ergonomic benefits, given the absence of external cameras and light cords. We describe a case involving multiple proximal ureteral FEPs treated with flexible DURS and the holmium (Ho) laser, in which the digital ureteroscope offered exceptional visualization of the FEP stalks allowing for straightforward resection and endoscopic removal.

Fibroepithelial polyps - a rare pathology of the upper urinary tract.
Ureteral fibroepithelial polyps are a rather uncommon pathological entity. However, an increase of their incidence was recorded during the recent period, probably due to better access to the investigative methods. The aim of this study was to assess the diagnosis and endoscopic treatment particularities of these cases. Our experience was based on 11 cases evaluated in the last 12 years. The mea...

We report a case of primary fibroepithelial polyp of the right midureter. The patient was a 41-year-old-woman, complaining of right flank pain. An excretory urogram revealed right hydronephrosis and a filling defect of the the right midureter. The filling defect was produced by a large fibroepithelial polyp that was diagnosed and removed by ureteroscopy without open surgery. Large fibroepitheli...

A 33-year-old woman with a complaint of gross hematuria was referred to our hospital for further examination and treatment. Cystoscopy and computed tomography (CT) urography identified a huge, nonpapillary mass at least 9 cm in length protruding from the left ureteral orifice. The mass was mobile, and appeared to arise from the left mid-ureter. First, we confirmed that the tumor was benign by e...
متن کاملLaparoscopic Approach to a Rare Cause of Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction in a Child: Ureteral Polyp
Fibroepithelial polyps are a rare underlying reason of ureteropelvic junction obstruction. In the past, open surgery was the only option. However, due to development of minimal invasive technics, treatment alternatives have been changed. Resection by laparoscopy or endoscopy, laser fulguration and/or percutaneous resection are recommended in children and adults. Here, we present a 10-year-old b...

We presented a rare case with giant ureteral polyp that mimics bladder tumor in adult women, originating from the middle segment of the left ureter. The patient was a 42-year-old woman, with a 2.1×1.3 cm bladder mass detected incidentally on a health screening ultrasound. Computerized tomography (CT) of the pelvis revealed a solid tumor situated near to trigon. Cystoscopy demonstrated a tumor t...
