Solitary Pendunculated Polyp of the Posterior Urethra in a Child
Abstract
Summary: A case of solitary pedunculated polyp of the posterior urethra in a five-year old child is reported. This to our knowledge, is the first to be reported in the Nigerian literature. The Tsymptomatology and clinical course are similar to those of posterior urethral valves and urethrocystoscopy is necessary to distinguish one from the other. The polyp is best ablated endoscopically; however, where the requisite expertise or appropriate equipment for a safe endoscopic resection is not available, the lesion can be excised transvesically.
