[Fibroepithelial polyps of the ureter and the kidney pelvis. Report of 3 cases].
The authors report 3 cases of fibroepithelial polyps, one of which was an incidental finding and 2 were symptomatic, presenting in the form of macroscopic haematuria and chronic back pain, respectively. These lesions required 2 nephroureterectomies because of their renal repercussions or their multifocal nature, combined with segmental resection of the ureter, including the base of the tumour. In the light of these cases, the authors review the literature and analyse the current management of this rare disease, in particular the indications for endourological techniques which appear to have a major diagnostic contribution as a complement to IVU and retrograde urography, but whose therapeutic value has yet to be defined.
