Congenital polyp of the prostatic urethra: report on 2 cases.

Congenital polyps of the prostatic urethra are an uncommon cause of obstructive uropathy, infection and/or hematuria in male children. A filling defect localized in the posterior urethra on the voiding cystourethrogram represents the peculiar diagnostic finding. Transurethral resection is the treatment of choice, according to the size of the polyp. Two cases of congenital posterior urethral polyps are reported and the main clinical and radiological features are discussed. This lesion has to be considered in the differential diagnosis of the voiding dysfunction in young boys.
