Abstract

Ureteral fibroepithelial polyps are rarely observed benign lesions of the ureter. Using solely clinical and radiological findings, they are almost impossible to differentiate from malign subtypes of the ureter tumors. Thus, pathological diagnosis is required. Endoscopic resection of the fibroepithelial polyps appears to be safe and efficient. In this article, we aimed to report our approach to a 60-year-old female patient presenting with a ureter tumor detected radiologically and endoscopically after macroscopic hematuria, and to herein discuss our findings in the light of the existing literature.
