BENIGN POLYP OF THE URETER

Abstract

SUMMARY A case of adenomatous polyp of the ureter is described which was associated with a congenital anomaly of the contralateral side. In the case presented, certain histological features of this polyp suggest a congenital derivation of the lesion. A review of the literature on ureteral tumours suggests that polypoid lesions of the ureter occur very infrequently. Note.–At the time of submission of this paper similar cases of ureteral polypi were reported by Howard (1958) and by Wood and Howe (1958).
