Endoscopic treatment of a long fibroepithelial ureteral polyp

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF UROLOGY, Issue 8 2001
Shizuo Yagi
Abstract A case is reported of a 30-year-old woman with a long fibroepithelial polyp in the middle ureter treated with the Ho-YAG laser endoscopically. She presented with an intermittent macroscopic hematuria and lower abdominal pain lasting for 1 year. The filling defect on urography occupying one-third of the ureter was migratory depending on the patient position. Transurethral flexible ureterorenoscopy showed a large pedunculated tumor with a small base at the middle ureter. About 1 month after the endoscopic irradiation of the Ho-YAG laser to the base of tumor, the tumor was spontaneously discharged and pathologic examination revealed it to be a fibroepithelial polyp without malignant component. Postoperatively, the patient remained asymptomatic and follow-up excretory urographs showed no abnormal findings. [source]

Prenatal sonographic diagnosis of congenital perineal skin tag: case report and review of the literature

PRENATAL DIAGNOSIS, Issue 11 2006
Angelika Bord
Abstract Background Skin tags, or acrochordons, are benign, soft, fleshy tumors that are composed of hyperplastic epidermis covering a dermal connective tissue stalk. Methods Case report of a congenital perineal skin tag that presented as a perineal tumor during second-trimester sonographic scan at 23 weeks' gestation. Literature review of the medical literature using Pubmed® and the search terms acrochordon, fibroepithelial polyp (FEP), and skin tag. Results Routine midtrimester targeted organ scanning at 23 weeks' gestation revealed a 5-mm hypoechogenic elongated mass in the perineal area of the fetus. The lesion progressed to twice that size by 36 weeks. Detailed anatomy scan of the fetus was unremarkable, and amniocentesis demonstrated normal karyotype. The mother developed spontaneous labor at 38 weeks' gestation and delivered a phenotypically normal girl with a round smooth mass in the perineal area. The lesion was removed; pathologic examination revealed a lipomatous skin tag. Literature review showed skin tags associated with different medical conditions. Conclusion To the best of our knowledge, no prenatally diagnosed cases of this lesion on the fetal perineum have been published. In the present case, this was an innocuous finding.

,HPV vulvitis' revisited: frequent and persistent detection of novel epidermodysplasia verruciformis-associated HPV genotypes

JOURNAL OF CUTANEOUS PATHOLOGY, Issue 3 2008
Ming-Tseh Lin
Background:, ,Human papillomavirus (HPV) vulvitis' is a disputed entity where most studies examining for genital-mucosal (GM) HPV have been negative. Methods:, Using degenerate and type specific primers for cutaneous (CU), GM and epidermodysplasia verruciformis (EV) HPV types, the prevalence of specific HPV types was investigated in biopsy specimens from 19 women with ,HPV vulvitis', seven with asymptomatic vulvar squamous papillomatosis (ASxVSP), and controls of vulvar fibroepithelial polyps (FEP) (15), vulvar condyloma (10) and normal vulva (NV) (10). Results:, HPV DNA/EV HPV/GM HPV/CU HPV were detected in 84/74/47/5% of vulvitis patients, 78/71/0/28% of ASxVSP, 47/20/20/7% of FEP, 10/10%/0/0 of NV and 100/0/100/10% of condyloma. Fourteen putatively novel HPV genotypes were detected in vulvitis and ASxVSP patients, but not in controls. The two most frequent novel EV HPV, Alb-4 and DL285, were detected in 9/19 (47%) and 5/19 (26%) of vulvitis cases and were persistently identified in serial biopsies. HPV co-infection and Alb-4 infection occurred significantly more frequently in vulvitis patients, particularly those complaining of ,burning' (62/62% vs. 17/7%, p , 0.004). Koilocytosis was identified significantly more frequently in vulvitis compared with non-condyloma controls (81% vs. 40%, p = 0.0001), and its presence correlated with detection of HPV DNA (r = 0.3, p = 0.002). Conclusion:, The high frequency of novel EV HPV in HPV vulvitis and correlation of clinicopathologic findings with HPV DNA suggests that HPV vulvitis may indeed exist. [source]
