Source abstract
Fibroepithelial polyps are benign tumors of the urinary tract of mesenchymal origin and may be a rare cause of ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO). We present a case of a ten-year-old child who presented with intermittent macroscopic hematuria and left colic pain. Imaging revealed ipsilateral hydronephrosis in the absence of ureteral dilatation, prolonged drainage, and impaired renal function. Consequently, the patient was diagnosed with UPJO and underwent Hynes-Anderson pyeloplasty. Intraoperatively, we discovered that the cause of UPJO was fibroepithelial polyps. Postoperatively, the patient remains asymptomatic, with resolution of hydronephrosis and preservation of renal function.
