Abstract

We report a case in which a fibroepithelial polyp of the renal pelvis showed unusual radiological features. The growth of the fibroepithelial polyp over a period of 11 months was noticed. Curvilinear surface calcifications and strong enhancement on multiphasic enhanced CT and MR images were noticeable findings.
