The case of a 5-year-old girl, complaining of left abdominal and flank pain, is reported. The excretory urogram and retrograde pyelography showed an obstruction located at the left upper ureter with hydronephrosis. Exploration revealed a small ureteral polyp obstructing the lumen. The polyp along with the short segment of the ureter was resected. Diagnostic and therapeutic considerations are discussed.
