ENDOSCOPIC RESECTION OF PROSTATIC URETHRAL FIBROEPITHELIAL POLYP

Abstract

Fibroepithelial polyps of the urethra are rare lesions in adults and are most frequently seen in males during the first decade of life. Patients usually present with an acute urinary retention but other symptoms like voi¬ding problems, hematuria or recurrent urinary infection may be present As few cases have been described in the literature so far, our aim was to add one more case report to the literature, describing symptoms, diagnostic eva¬luation and treatment options of our patient and com¬paring them to reports found in recent literatu¬re. As well as physical examination, the investigations for these polyps usually include imaging exams (voiding cystourethrography and ultrasonography) and urinary endoscopy. However, the diagnosis is primarily established by pathology.
