Antenatal hydronephrosis: ureteral polyp causing ureteropelvic junction obstruction

Eur J Pediatr Surg. 2004 Oct;14(5):345-7. doi: 10.1055/s-2004-821212.

Abstract

We describe a rare case of ureteropelvic junction obstruction in a three and a half-year-old boy due to a benign ureteric polyp. This case is being reported due to the rarity of benign neoplasms of the ureter in infants and children and also because the child had been diagnosed antenatally as having hydronephrosis.
