[Benign ureteral polyps in a child].
A case of benign ureteral polyps at ureteropelvic junction in a 9-year-old boy is reported. He was hospitalized with episodes of gross hematuria and left flank pain. An excretory urogram showed the left hydronephrosis due to the ureteropelvic junction obstruction. At exploration, we found two polyps at the left ureteropelvic junction. Partial ureterectomy including the polyps and pyeloplasty were performed. Pathological examination showed fibrovascular polyps of the ureter. The patient still remains symptomless for one year after the operation with no signs of recurrent ureteral polyps.
