title: [Giant fibroepithelial polyp of the ureter].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report a case of giant fibroepithelial polyp of the ureter and review the literature with special reference to the diagnosis and treatment of this benign condition.
  
  
  METHODS
  A young male patient with a nonfunctioning left kidney caused by a giant fibroepithelial polyp of the ureter is presented. The diagnostic methods and treatment options are discussed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Following the diagnosis of obstructive uropathy with loss of left renal unit function, a left nephroureterectomy was performed which revealed a giant polypoid mass.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Fibroepithelial polyp of the ureter is a benign condition that is difficult to diagnose with current endoscopic techniques. Endoscopy should be the first therapeutic option if loss of renal function is not irreversible.
