Fibroepithelial polyps of the anus have been described as mucosal hypertrophy in response to chronic irritation or tissue damage. Lesions usually remain small and mostly present in elderly adults with local disease. An otherwise healthy 15-year-old male presented with a giant pedunculated mass projecting out of the anal verge that enlarged over 2 years, causing discomfort. Upon surgical excision and histologic examination, the mass resembled a fibroepithelial polyp with numerous dilated lymphatics. While literature describes the spectrum of pathology possible in such lesions, often consisting of a mixture of stromal and epithelial components, dilated lymphatics are less common. This giant anal fibroepithelial polyp characterized by edematous stroma and numerous dilated lymphatics is consistent with lymphangioma. To our knowledge, this presentation is novel in this age group with no underlying risk factors.
Fibroepithelial polyps (FEPs) are rare benign tumors that can occur in the urinary tract and are especially uncommon in the urethra. This report presents a case of a young man with obstructive symptoms caused by a urethral polyp, which was treated endoscopically. Fibroepithelial polyps can be a cause of urethral stenosis in young men and may also be encountered during the treatment of other causes of urethral narrowing.
Sacrococcygeal teratomas (SCT) are the most frequent tumors found outside the gonads in young children, but there's limited data on their clinical features and outcomes in the Philippines, as the existing studies have mostly come from other countries.*

This study was retrospective and collected data over four years from medical records, focusing on demographics, delivery methods, clinical presentations, tumor classifications, and surgical outcomes, including mortality, morbidity, and recurrence rates.*
-
Out of 29 patients analyzed, most were female, and many presented with a sacral or gluteal mass, but only a small percentage received an accurate prenatal ultrasound diagnosis; imaging methods were used to further evaluate the tumors, with
Introduction And Importance: Fibroepithelial polyps are rare benign lesions with uncertain origins. They are commonly found in the skin and genitourinary system. Fibroepithelial polyps in the external auditory canal are infrequent.
- Fibroepithelial polyps (FEP) are uncommon benign tumors found in the urinary system, often identified through CT scans and confirmed by histopathology.
- Treatment options for FEP range from traditional nephroureterectomy to modern ablation techniques.
- A case study highlighted a patient with FEP causing left-sided hydronephrosis and flank pain, successfully treated with robotic pyeloplasty and tumor excision, leading to restored renal function and alleviated symptoms.
