LANZAS PRIETO, J.M. et al. Fibroepithelial urethral polyp in an adult. Actas Urol Esp [online]. 2003, vol.27, n.8, pp.654-656. ISSN 0210-4806.

We present the case of a fibroepithelial polyp of the prostatic urethra in a forty-five year old patient. This type of polyp is rare in the adult. The principal symptoms which the patient presented were haematuria and an intermittent reduction in micturitional flow. Endoscopic images of the tumour are shown and certain details of its histology; this is a polypoid lesion of loose connective tissue covered by typical urothelium, with occasional fascicles of smooth muscle, no prostatic-type glandular structures and no appreciable inflammatory component.

Keywords : Polyps; Urethra.
