Urethral polyp

Abstract

Urethral polyps are rare congenital lesions; and occurs almost exclusively in males, very rarely polyps in prepubertal girls and women arise from prolapsing urothelium that has evolved into a polyp, they usually arise from the verumontanum (posterior urethral polyp); and it may be piping out into the bladder neck, causing bladder outlet obstruction. An anterior urethral polyp is extremely rare and arises in the membranous or penile urethra. It produces the same symptoms and has the same morphology as a posterior polyp, few cases of peduculated urethral polyps arise from the distal urethra and protruded outside the meatus had been reported.
