Abstract

Congenital polyps of posterior urethra may be present for years without symptoms, but eventually cause obstruction leading to vesicoureteral reflux and hydronephrosis in children. This diagnosis is made by voiding cystourethrography; endoscopy alone may be misleading. The polyp is not a true tumor, but a congenital, polypoid lesion with fibrous core and regular, transitional cell epithelial covering, attached to the verumontanum. When adequately excised, it does not recur.
