Abstract

Abstract Benign ureteral polyps, also known as fibroepithelial polyps, can cause upper urinary tract obstruction by growing to block the flow of urine from the kidney. Fibroepithelial polyps are very rare benign lesions originating from the mesoderm. We have presented an interesting and unusual case who presented with recurrent right sided abdominal colicky pain and vomiting. During investigation was found an underlying cause of right sided abdominal intermittent pain at the right pelviureteric junction area. Patient underwent repeated abdominal, urological, imaging and diagnostic investigations leading finally to the diagnosis after number of years. Minimal invasive approach using retroperitoneoscopy with resection and primary anastomosis of right lower pelvis and upper ureteric anastomosis resulted in permanent cure.
