Fibroepithelial stromal polyp of bladder-a mimicker of sarcoma or angiomyxoma at uncommon location.

The fibroepithelial stromal polyp is a benign polypoid proliferation of the stroma with overlying epithelium. Because the lesion contains atypical stromal cells, sometimes it can be overdiagnosed as sarcoma or with myxoid stroma, it can be misdiagnosed as angiomyxoma. The reported locations are mainly in the lower female genital tract, urethra, and rarely extragenital sites, such as the breast, and are exceptionally rare in the bladder. We encountered a 65-year-old man who presented with two small velvety, erythematous patches on the posterior bladder wall. The final diagnosis is a fibroepithelial stromal polyp of the bladder. Familiarity with this lesion will prevent overinterpretation of this benign lesion as a malignancy.
