Nephroureterectomy is the standard treatment for transitional cell tumours of the renal pelvis. A single-incision surgical technique with use of a vein stripper to remove the distal ureter is evaluated. The method proved to be safe. There was no evidence of increased immediate or long-term risks, including extravesical recurrence of tumour. The method can be recommended for patients with renal pelvic papilloma and probably also for tumours in the upper part of the ureter, but should not be used when there is tumour in the distal ureter.

Ultrasound findings of fibroepithelial polyp in the fetal bladder: a case report.

Front Oncol

December 2024

Department of Diagnostic Ultrasound, West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China.

Fibroepithelial polyps are rare benign tumors originating from the mesoderm and are more commonly found in the renal pelvis and distal ureter and less frequently in the proximal ureter or bladder. This case report presents a fibroepithelial polyp occurring in the bladder of the fetus, showcasing its two-dimensional ultrasound, three-dimensional ultrasound, color Doppler, and spectral Doppler ultrasound findings, providing a reference for the accurate diagnosis of this condition.
