Treatment of bilateral fibroepithelial polyps in a child.
Ureteral fibroepithelial polyps are extremely rare benign lesions composed of stroma with a surface of normal transitional epithelium. Traditionally, symptomatic polyps were treated with open exploration and segmental resection. We describe the first case of bilateral polyps in a child. One was removed by segmental resection and the other by ureteroscopic laser surgery.
