Giant fibroepithelial polyp of the ureter

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Giant fibroepithelial polyp is a rare cause of ureteric/ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction. We report a rare case of giant fibroepithelial polyp in a 32-year-old woman involving the whole length of the ureter, reaching up to the UPJ which was clinically and radiologically considered to be urothelial carcinoma. Frozen section showed a polypoid lesion lined by urothelium with no evidence of dysplasia or malignancy. Subsequently, nephroureterectomy was done as there was marked renal hydronephrosis and it was impossible to separate the polyp from the wall of the ureter. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis of giant fibroepithelial polyp, ruling out malignancy.
