Abstract

Fibroepithelial polyps (FEPs) are benign tumors of the urinary tract, arising from the mesodermal tissue. Etiology of fibroepithelial polyps is unknown. Hematuria and obstructive urinary symptoms are the most common findings. Although there was a giant polyp in the ureter in our case, we did not observe any symptom. We report a case of asymptomatic fibroepitelial polyp of the right ureter inci-dentally detected with ultrasonography.

Key Words: Ureter, fibroepithelial polyp, treatment, giant
