title: [Report of two cases of long ureteral polyps and review of literature].
abstract: Two cases of long ureteral polyps are presented. The patients were a 46-and a 40-year-old women, complaining of gross hematuria and miction pain respectively. Excretory urographies showed filling defects of right ureter and lower part of left ureter respectively. Right and left total nephroureterectomy with bladder cuff were respectively performed because of malignant possibility. The tumors removed were benign polyps, measuring 19 and 5 cm in length, respectively. The 19 cm polyp is the longest in Japan. The former case was suspected as hamartoma from müllerian duct and the latter as simple fibro-epithelial polyp.
