Incidentally detected ureteral fibroepithelial polyps in children: is endoscopic treatment of them really necessary?
TLDR
Due to the potential complications during the ureteroscopic resection, the opinion is to observe the small FEPs without joint symptoms and hydronephrosis.Abstract:
Objective
Fibroepithelial polyps (FEPs) are the most common benign lesions of the ureter. However, FEPs of the ureter accompanied by calculi are rare. In this study, we reviewed our experiences with five children having FEP associated with ureteral calculi to define more clearly this entity and its outcome following observation.read more

Diagnosis and management of ureteral fibroepithelial polyps in children: a new treatment algorithm.
TL;DR: An algorithm to guide the clinical diagnosis and treatment of fibroepithelial polyps of the upper urinary tract in the pediatric population is proposed, finding that the 5.2% combined incidence of ureteral polyps in contemporary reports may be higher than previously described.

TL;DR: Ureteral fibroepithelial polyps are rare but rather important as they can cause UPJ obstruction, which often manifests as hydronephrosis, and it is recommended that UFP be successfully managed in children with retroperitoneal laparoscopy.

Benign Fibroepithelial Polyps: A Rare Cause of Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction in Children
TL;DR: It is suggested that perhaps a combination of US and MRI in the setting of persistent urinary tract infections and flank pain may be the best approach for early diagnosis and conservative management, including less invasive treatment protocols.

Laparoscopic Approach to a Rare Cause of Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction in a Child: Ureteral Polyp
TL;DR: A 10-year-old boy with severe left hydronephrosis due to fibroepithelial polyp close to the ureteropelvic junction is presented and the laparoscopic approach is presented.

Preoperative diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes of FEPs of ureters in children: a 13-year retrospective study based on data at a large pediatric medical center
TL;DR: Although the recurrence rate of polyps and symptoms are low after complete resection in children, long-term follow-up is advocated to the adolescence stage to monitor the incidences of urinary tract infections, ureteropelvic junction obstruction and stone formation.

Fibroepithelial polyps of the urinary tract
TL;DR: Because most urtothelial tumors are malignant epithelial tumors, fibroepithelial polyps are commonly mistaken for transitional cell carcinomas, and malignant urothelial tumors typically present in different patient populations, different locations in the urinary tract, and appear different radiographically, distinguishing features between these entities is helpful in determining the differential diagnosis of a u rothelial mass.

TL;DR: Endoscopic management of large fibroepithelial polyps of the renal pelvis and ureter is an acceptable treatment modality with minimal morbidity and durable treatment results.

TL;DR: Fibroepithelial polyps are rare lesions that cause ureteropelvic junction obstruction in children, primarily in males and on the left side, and the etiology of this disease remains obscure.

Ureteral polyps: an etiological factor of hydronephrosis in children that should not be ignored.
TL;DR: Ureteral polyps should be recognized as an important etiology for hydronephrosis in children, and Congenital factor may be associated with the origin of fibroepithelial polyps in children.

TL;DR: About 1 month after the endoscopic irradiation of the Ho‐YAG laser to the base of tumor, the tumor was spontaneously discharged and pathologic examination revealed it to be a fibroepithelial polyp without malignant component.
