[Fibrous polyp of the ureter: a report of one case].

Fibrous polyps of the ureter are rarely encountered: only twenty cases have been reported in the literature. They are nothing but pseudo-tumours, for they probably arise through a simple outpouching of the submucosa. The case reported was of a 60-year-old woman presenting with pain of the right iliac fossa associated with gross haematuria. The radiographic appearances were of a 14-cm long polyp, presenting as an intraluminal defect of the right ureter, with smooth edges and separated from the ureteral wall by a thin radio-opaque strip. It was attached by a very small area of insertion. Despite its size, the polyp caused relatively little obstruction. At surgery, the benign nature of this polyp was confirmed, as well as its invariably recurrence-free postoperative course.
