【 摘 要 】

We presented a rare case with giant ureteral polyp that mimics bladder tumor in adult women, originating from the middle segment of the left ureter. The patient was a 42-year-old woman, with a 2.1×1.3 cm bladder mass detected incidentally on a health screening ultrasound. Computerized tomography (CT) of the pelvis revealed a solid tumor situated near to trigon. Cystoscopy demonstrated a tumor that periodically prolapsed into the bladder. After the tumor was identified as a ureteral polyp by ureteroscopy, an ureteroscopic resection by diode laser was performed. The tumor measured 9.0×0.5 cm, and the final pathological diagnosis was ureteral fibroepithelial polyp. No recurrence was observed at the 5-month follow-up.
