Introduction: Fibroepithelial polyps of the ureter are rare. Cases and small series are reported in the literature. The treatment of choice, outcome and appropriate follow-up regimen remain unclear. Methods: We conducted a systematic literature review of papers reporting fibroepithelial polyps of the ureter in adult patients. Articles published before 1980 were excluded. Results: The search yielded 144 papers, of which 68 met the inclusion criteria. A reference scan from the included 68 yielded an additional 7 new articles. In total, our study included 75 articles (68 + 7). A total of 134 patients were described. Most patients had a single lesion (range: 1-10). The median length of the polyp was 4.0 cm (range: 0.4-17.0). The percentage of polyps resected endoscopically increased from 0% before 1985 to 67% after 2005. Two perioperative complications were reported in 72 procedures (2.8%): a deep venous thrombosis and a case of mesenteric lymphadenopathy. Both of these occurred after open surgery. Follow-up data were available for 57 patients. The median follow-up was 12 months (range: 1-180). Four patients (7.0%) developed recurrent complaints: 2 had urinary stones, 1 had a ureteral stricture and 1 had recurrence of the polyp. Three of these events followed endoscopic resection, and occurred within a year after the procedure. Conclusion: Endoscopic resection of fibroepithelial polyps seems to be safe and effective. It is minimally invasive and should be considered the gold standard where endoscopic expertise is available. We advise follow-up imaging by computed tomographic intravenous urography after 3 months and ultrasound after 1 year to detect late complications.

Fibroepithelial polyp is a benign neoplasm of a mesodermal origin that arises in the wall of the ureter, renal pelvis, bladder or urethra 1 . Here we report a case of a fibroepithelial polyp of the ureter in a young adult.C Ca as se e R Re ep po or rt t A 20-year-old girl was admitted to another institution with gross painless hematuria. Her physical examination was within normal limits. Abdominal ultrasound examination demonstrated an echogenic structure with polypoid projections extended into the bladder suggesting bladder tumor ( Figure-1). The patient was then referred for cystoscopy to our institution. At cystoscopy a papillary tumor was seen protruding from the left ureteral orifice. An intravenous pyelogram confirmed the above finding and revealed a large obstructing filling defect located in the distal third of the left ureter. Rigid ureterorenoscopy was then undertaken to obtain tissue sample for pathological examination. Ureterorenoscopy of this lesion revealed a polypoid ureteral lesion starting from the distal third of the left ureter and protruding into the bladder, a biopsy of which was done and the remainder protruding part was excised. Pathologic examination of the tissue specimen confirmed a fibroepithelial polyp.Then the patient lost follow-up. After admitted 5 months later, she underwent an uneventful left ureterotomy and an 8 cm fibroepithelial polyp that stemmed from a single stalk was excised (Figure-2) and a partial ureterectomy with an endto-end anastomosis was performed. A double-J stent was placed at the end of the procedure and removed 2 months postoperatively. At follow-up, the patient was asymptomatic and had no
