Abstract

Ureteral fibroepithelial polyps (UFPs) are rare non-epithelial benign tumors of the urinary tract. Treatment of such cases ranges from conservative management to surgical resection of the polyp. Hereby, we present a rare case of a 37-year-old female patient with giant 14 cm UFP of the distal left ureter, successfully resected by ureteroscopic electrocauterization. Several cases of UFPs have been previously reported in world literature describing polyps extending into the bladder; yet, our case is the first to present a giant UFP that extends beyond the bladder cavity protruding outside the urethral meatus as a red fleshy mass.
