Urethral polyps are rare benign lesions causing urinary tract obstruction in pediatric patients, predominantly affecting males. They arise from the posterior urethra in males and mid-urethra in females. An 11-day-old male with antenatal hydronephrosis presented with UTI. Imaging revealed bilateral grade II hydronephrosis, distended bladder, and grade 5 bilateral vesicoureteral reflux. A fibroepithelial urethral polyp was identified and treated with bipolar resection. Postoperative evaluation showed complete resolution of symptoms, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive urological evaluation in neonates with antenatal hydronephrosis.

A 14-year-old boy developed hydronephrosis and worsening renal function due to fibroepithelial polyps of the bladder and left ureter at the age of 12 years. The endoscopic treatment of ureteral polyps was attempted by his previous doctor; however urethral stricture and ureteral stricture developed and was untreatable. Therefore, he was referred to our hospital for further reconstructive treatment.

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.

A fibroepithelial polyp (FEP) of the penis is a rare benign swelling and often under-recognised lesion that has the potential to become malignant in some cases. The pathogenesis is still unclear, but it is hypothesised to be due to chronic irritation most often associated with condom catheter use or phimosis. We describe a case of an FEP measuring 10 cm in largest diameter developing from the ventral prepuce with a longstanding post-radiation penoscrotal oedema.

The fibroepithelial stromal polyp is a benign polypoid proliferation of the stroma with overlying epithelium. Because the lesion contains atypical stromal cells, sometimes it can be overdiagnosed as sarcoma or with myxoid stroma, it can be misdiagnosed as angiomyxoma. The reported locations are mainly in the lower female genital tract, urethra, and rarely extragenital sites, such as the breast, and are exceptionally rare in the bladder.
