[Acute urinary retention caused by urethral polyp].
A polyp of the prostatic part of the urethra is a rare pathological finding. A 20-year-old male visited our clinic with acute urinary retention. Ultrasound investigation, x-ray and endoscopic examinations revealed a polyp of the prostatic urethra. The polyp was resected by Ho-YAG laser. The resection resolved the urinary retention. The histopathological diagnosis was fibroepithelial polyp.
