Some cases showed large polyps that might be misinterpreted as malignant tumors such as aggressive angiomyxoma. Aim: We report a case of bilateral fibroepithelial polyps in the labia minora in an adolescent age girl. Case Presentation: A 16 year-old-girl was referred to our department for the treatment of an enlarged skin-tag appearance lesion at the right sided labia minora. The lesion was resected and the microscopic finding was a fibroepithelial polyp. One year after the first operation the patient was again referred to our department for the treatment of a skin-tag lesion at the left sided labia minora. It was again resected and the pathological diagnosis was a fibroepithelial polyp. Conclusion: Fibroepithelial polyp of the labia minora is not common and it is often seen in adolescent girls and in young adults. Bilateral lesions and skin-tag appearance are especially rare. The lesion should be excised for obtaining the correct diagnosis.展开更多

They are usually small in size, but sometimes they become enlarged, causing unexpected medical conditions. An extremely rare case of a giant hypertrophied anal papilla complicated by obstructive ileus is reported. Fibroepithelial anal polyp, despite its size, should be included in the differential diagnosis of a smooth mass located near the anal verge, especially in a patient with a history of chronic anal irritation or infection.展开更多

Less than 200 cases have been docu- mented in published reports.1 Bilateral ureteralfibroepithelial polyps are extremely rare and commonly occur in the proximal ureter, causing complete ureteral obstruction. Pyeloplasty is an effective treatment for im- proving renal function. Here we report a case with se- quential bilateral ureteral fibroepithelial polyps causing obstructive hydronephrosis.展开更多

METHODS One case of ureteral fibroepithelial polyps was studied by clinical data analysis and light microscopy. RESULTS The tumor was located in the lower ureter. Histologically, the polyp was composed of expanded blood vessels and fibrous connective tissue under normal or proliferous transitional epithelium. CONCLUSION Benign ureteral fibroepithelial polyps are extremely rare, recognition of it's precise histological features can facilitate its correct diagnosis.展开更多

Currently, most ureteral polyps could be removed readily by ureteroscopy. Nevertheless, endoscopic resection can be difficult in patient with a large polyp, especially accompanied by an intussusception. We described our experience and laparoscopic technique for treatment of a symptomatic 63-year-old woman who presented with a pedunculated, 9-cm-long, left lower ureteral, fibroepithelial polyp accompanied by a 2-cm-long intussusception.展开更多

They arise most commonly in the upper esophagus and may, rarely, originate in the hypopharynx. They can vary significantly in size. Even though they are benign, they may be lethal due to either bleeding or, rarely, asphyxiation if a large polyp is regurgitated. Patients commonly present with dysphagia or hematemesis. The polyps may not be well visualized on endoscopy and imaging plays a vital role in aiding diagnosis as well as providing important information for preoperative planning, such as the location of the pedicle, the vascularity of the polyp and the tissue elements of the mass. They can also be recurrent in rare cases, especially if the resection margins of the base are involved. We review the recent literature and report a case of a 61-year-old man with a recurrent giant esophageal fibrovascular polyp with illustrative contrast barium swallow, CT and intra-operative images, who required several surgeries via a combination of endoscopic, trans-oral, trans-cervical, trans-thoracic and trans-abdominal approaches.展开更多
