Bilateral fibroepithelial polyps of ureter in a child.
Presented here is the first case of bilateral ureteral polyps in a patient under eighteen years of age, with vivid colored intraoperative photographs. The importance of careful identification of the base of the polyp to reduce operative morbidity and the necessity of ureteral reanastomosis rather than simple excision of the polyp in children is emphasized.
