Research summary prepared for this professional profile
Unusual presentation
A 37-year-old woman presented with urinary symptoms and an intermittently protruding mass. Investigation identified a giant fibroepithelial polyp originating from the distal ureter.
Publication identifier: DOI 10.1016/j.eucr.2017.03.015.
Diagnosis and treatment
Endoscopic examination, imaging, and pathology confirmed the benign lesion. Ureteroscopic electrocautery enabled complete resection followed by temporary ureteral stenting.
Publication identifier: DOI 10.1016/j.eucr.2017.03.015.
Clinical relevance
The case demonstrates the importance of considering benign ureteral lesions in unusual urinary presentations and shows how endoscopic treatment may avoid more extensive surgery.
