A case of ureteral polyp in a 7-year-old boy with the chief complaint of left flank pain was reported. The excretory urogram and retrograde pyelography showed left hydronephrosis and a filling defect at the pelvic-ureteric junction. Partial resection of the ureter containing the lesion and Anderson-Hynes pyeloplasty were performed. The pathological diagnosis was benign polyp of the ureter. Convalescence was uneventful and excretory urogram showed improvement of the hydronephrosis. Along with our case, 19 cases of ureteral polyp in childhood are briefly discussed.
