Urothelial polyps arising from the anterior urethra are rarely encountered in the pediatric age group and are even rarer in the females. Scarcely reported in English literature, their exact incidence is not known. They may be asymptomatic for years or present with features of urinary obstruction, mass or "vaginal" bleeding. They are important in the differential diagnosis of interlabial masses in female children. Anterior urethral polyps are benign fibroepithelial lesions. Surgery is indicated for relief of symptoms and differentiation from malignant lesions such as a sarcoma or a papilloma. No recurrences have been reported. We report a case of solitary anterior urethral polyp in an 8-year old girl managed successfully at our centre.
前尿道的尿道上皮息肉在儿科中很少见，在女性中更为罕见。在英文文献中鲜有报道，其确切发病率尚不清楚。它们可能多年无症状，或表现为尿路梗阻、肿块或“阴道”出血的特征。在鉴别女性儿童阴唇间肿块时很重要。前尿道息肉是良性的纤维上皮性病变。手术是为了缓解症状，并与恶性病变如肉瘤或乳头状瘤相区别。尚未有复发的报道。我们报告了一例 8 岁女孩的孤立性前尿道息肉，在我们中心成功治疗。
