A case of congenital urethral polyp in a 10-month-old boy is presented. These rare congenital tumors can lead to urinary retention, hematuria, urinary tract infections, hydronephrosis and hydroureter. Traditionally the diagnosis was based either on voiding cystourethrography or cystoscopy. The sonographic features of these polyps have only been reported in a few cases in the past. This modality is not infrequently the imaging procedure of choice in the work-up of children with signs and symptoms related to the urinary system. In the case presented herein the polyp was demonstrated initially by sonography as a soft tissue mass arising at the base of the urinary bladder. The differential diagnosis of these lesions is presented.
本文报告一例10个月大男婴先天性尿道息肉的病例。这些罕见的先天性肿瘤可导致尿潴留、血尿、尿路感染、肾积水和输尿管积水。传统上，诊断基于排尿性膀胱尿道造影或膀胱镜检查。过去仅有少数病例报道过这些息肉的超声特征。对于有泌尿系统相关症状和体征的儿童，超声检查常常是首选的影像学检查方法。在本文所述病例中，息肉最初通过超声检查显示为起源于膀胱底部的软组织肿块。文中还介绍了这些病变的鉴别诊断。
