Fibroepithelial polyp of the urinary bladder. Case report
open access
Abstract
Fibroepithelial polyps of the urinary tract are rare benign mucosal lesions which usually occur in young to middle-aged adults. Fibroepithelial polyps of the bladder may occasionally exhibit a striking epithelial pseudocarcinomatous proliferation. We report a case of a polypoid tumor with epithelial proliferation in the urinary bladder in a young man treated in the Department of General, Oncological and Functional Urology, Medical University of Warsaw. The tumor was resected and found to be a fibroepithelial polyp.
