A vaginal polyp must be considered in the evaluation of interlabial masses in prepubertal girls. This article describes a newborn girl with an interlabial mass that the histological analysis revealed to be an FEPV.

Did antenatal diagnosis protect against chronic kidney disease in patients with posterior urethral valves? A multicenter study.

Objective: To evaluate the prognostic role of antenatal diagnosis of posterior urethral valves (PUVs) on ultimate renal function.

Methods: Between 1990 and 2010, 315 patients with PUVs were diagnosed and treated at 2 separate tertiary centers. Primary valve ablation was performed in all patients except 18, who underwent initial vesicostomy.
