[Inverted papilloma of the prostatic urethra. Histopathogenetic considerations].
We present a rare case of inverted papilloma of the prostatic ureter whose presenting features were gross hematuria and variable dysuria. Endoscopy revealed a polypoid appearance with a fine pedicle arising from the prostatic urethra. Treatment was by transurethral resection of the neoformation. The diagnosis was made on the histopathological findings. The different histopathogenic considerations published in the literature are discussed.
