Ureteral fibroepithelial polyp with positive urinary cytology.
We report on a patient with two fibroepithelial polyps of the upper ureter in whom the correct diagnosis was confused by finding voided urine as well as ureteral wash, and brush biopsy cytologies positive for malignancy. Fibroepithelial polyps and causes of falsely positive urinary cytology are reviewed.
