Inverted papilloma (IP) is an uncommon tumor of the urinary tract and the mean age of the patients was 60.25 ±3.25 years. In general, IP is considered a benign lesion and the clinical symptoms are similar to the urothelial neoplasias. IP can be treated successfully by a local transurethral resection, but although it is a benign tumor, this lesion must be followed up closely for recurrence and rare malignant transformation. Due to the possibility of transformation into a malignant tumor, a radical treatment of nephroureterectomy was performed in some cases. In this study, we evaluated a case of local vaporization of IP by "Green Light Laser".

Abstract
Inverted papilloma (IP) is an uncommon tumor of the urinary tract and the mean age of the patients was 60.25 ±3.25 years. In general, IP is considered a benign lesion and the clinical symptoms are similar to the urothelial neoplasias. IP can be treated successfully by a local transurethral resection, but although it is a benign tumor, this lesion must be followed up closely for recurrence and rare malignant transformation. Due to the possibility of transformation into a malignant tumor, a radical treatment of nephroureterectomy was performed in some cases. In this study, we evaluated a case of local vaporization of IP by "Green Light Laser".I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
