Figure 1: Transrectal ultrasonographic image of the dilated right
ureter. Maximum diameter is 2.3 cm. Blue arrow points towards the wall
of the ureter.
Figure 2: Endoscopic view of the ureteral polyp protruding from the
right ureteral orifice in the bladder. The ureteral orifice is dilated.
Figure 3: Endoscopic view one day postoperative of the base of the polyp
inside the ureter. The mucosa is swollen and slightly inflamed. Blue
arrow points towards the stalk of the polyp. The ureteral lumen is
dilated.
Figure 4: Endoscopic view of the remaining stalk of the polyp (blue
arrow) inside the ureter five months postoperative. The surrounding area
shows no signs of inflammation. The ureteral lumen is still dilated.
