Abstract

In this rare case we report a 3-week-old boy with postnatal continues stomach pains, crying and severe dysuria, caused by bladder outlet obstruction due to a histopathological confirmed fibroepithelial polyp in the prostatic urethra. The condition was diagnosed and fully treated with ultrasound and a therapeutic cystoscopy.
