Abstract
Received October 2008 Accepted February 2009 INTRODUCTION Fibroepithelial polyps (FEPs) of the urethra are rare lesions in adults and are most frequently seen in men during the first decade of life.(1) These lesions are benign and congenital, usually discovered in infants and children, and have rarely been reported in adults.(2,3) Solitary polyps are called different names, such as prostatic urethral polyps, FEPs of the urethra, or benign urethral polyps.(4) Because of their location, as they achieve larger size, they can produce a variety of urinary symptoms including dysuria, hematuria, urinary tract infections, and obstructive symptoms, which may progress to urinary retention.(5) We report a case of benign FEP of the prostatic urethra in a 20-year-old man who presented with obstructive urinary symptoms and urinary retention.
