Posterior urethral polyps are rare. A case is reported in a 7-year-old boy presenting with pain and burning micturition. Ultrasound and cystography revealed the diagnosis by showing a round solid structure in the bladder neck. Cystoscopy confirmed the diagnosis by showing its implantation base at the summit of the verumontanum. The polyp was removed by endoscopic resection and histological examination of the resection specimen showed a fibrous polyp. A brief review of the clinical features, diagnostic methods, natural history and treatment of this benign tumour is presented.
