“…They are mostly found in ureter, urethra and pelvis and are distinctly rare in urinary bladder. [5][6][7] They are more common in adult men and rare in children. Other benign lesions that may be found in the bladder include leiomyomas, granulomas, haemangiomas and urothelial and non-urothelial neoplasms.…”

Benign fibroepithelial bladder polyp: a rare cause of childhood haematuria

et al. 2018

Haematuria in paediatric population is common yet alarming. It warrants a thorough physical examination and other investigations. Of late, a number of extremely rare aetiology of childhood haematuria have come to forefront. One such uncommon cause is benign fibroepithelial urinary bladder polyp. The presentation is of a child with intermittent haematuria exacerbated by physical/sports activity associated with or without suprapubic pain. Diagnosis is usually made by ultrasonography and cystoscopy and confirmed by histopathological examination. Treatment is surgical and involves cystoscopic transurethral resection of the mass. The exact aetiology of benign fibroepithelial polyp is uncertain with no clear guidelines on long-term surveillance. However, these cases should be subjected to cystourethroscopy if haematuria recurs. Treatment is surgical with good long-term prognosis. Not much is written in literature about benign fibroepithelial bladder polyp.

“…Benign fibroepithelial polyps of the renal pelvis arise from benign mucosal projections composed of fibrous stroma lined with surface epithelium [6]. The fibroepithelial polyps of the renal pelvis commonly arise in the pelviureteric junction followed by the posterior urethra and distal/mid ureter [7].…”

We present a rare case of a benign fibroepithelial polyp of the renal pelvis in a patient with familial adenomatous polyposis. In our paper we describe a new minimally invasive technique developed in our unit using an amplatz goose neck snare via a percutaneous nephroscope sheath in the management of the benign fibroepithelial polyp of the renal pelvis and present a current review of management strategies in literature.

“…These polyps are generally considered a discrete entity [15,16] and thus were not evaluated in this study. Fibroepithelial polyps of the lower urinary tract (5 cases) are also classified separately [17,18] and were excluded. Finally, 2 congenital lesions (1 on the lower lip and 1 obstructing the left nare) were excluded because this study specifically focused on acquired FEPs.…”

A distinct group of fibroproliferative polyps of the tongue arising in immunosuppressed children and often associated with chromosomal breakpoints at chromosomes 9p34 or 22q11 was recently described. Based on this finding, we reviewed fibroepithelial polyps arising in nonlingual sites in the pediatric population to investigate a possible relationship with immunosuppression. We identified 8 fibroepithelial polyps arising in 6 immunosuppressed patients (4 males and 2 females, median age 17 years) in a wide range of mucocutaneous sites. Histologic features were identical to the common fibroepithelial polyp, or skin tag, with a variably collagenous fibrovascular core covered by unremarkable squamous epithelium. No viral cytopathic changes were identified in any case. Although cytogenetic studies were not performed on any of the biopsy material, 1 patient had a constitutional deletion of chromosome 22q11. We suggest that there may be a relationship between these polyps and the previously described tongue lesions and that immunosuppression may be an important factor in their pathogenesis.
