title: Fibroepithelial polyp of the ureter presenting incidentally in a patient with a diverticular abscess.
abstract: We report on a patient with a fibroepithelial polyp of the distal ureter in whom the diagnosis was made incidentally while being examined for a diverticular abscess draining into the vagina. This patient's lack of symptoms and a possible relationship with the diverticular abscess is also explored.
