Background: Fibroepithelial polyps of the urothelial system are rare and are considered to be benign tumors. Ultrasonography (USG), contrast-enhanced CT, and contrast-enhanced MRI can be used for detecting fibroepithelial polyps in the urothelial system. These polyps can be treated by performing open exploration and endoscopic or laparoscopic resection. Previous studies have also reported the frequent use of laser treatment for treating fibroepithelial polyps located in the proximal ureter. Case Presentation: A 54-year-old female patient presented to our clinic with right flank pain. Evaluation of the patient by performing USG and CT detected grade-2 hydronephrosis of the right kidney; however, no stone was detected in the urinary system. MRI detected thickening of the wall of the right proximal ureter along with contrast enhancement. These findings suggested the presence of a ureteral polyp. Ureterorenoscopy detected a 7-cm-long ureteral polyp in the proximal ureter, which was resected by performing monopolar cautery. Conclusion: Although fibroepithelial polyps of the urinary tract are rare, they should be considered in the absence of urinary calculi and in the presence of a ureteral obstruction. Furthermore, careful endoscopic resection by performing electrocautery is a safe and useful method for treating ureteral lesions.

Aim: To evaluate radiation exposure and awareness of radiation in healthcare professionals exposed to ionizing radiation.Material and Methods: The study was carried out in Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat University Training and Research Hospital and Süleyman Demirel University Hospital. Physicians, nurses, paramedics, anesthesia technicians, caregivers and cleaning staff exposed to radiation participated in the study. An inquiry form was prepared to carry out the study. In this form, the demographic characteristics of the healthcare professionals, the characteristics related to the radiation they were exposed to, the effects that may occur due to this exposure were asked and the relationship between them was statistically analyzed according to the answers.Results: One hundred twenty nine healthcare professionals, 81 men and 48 women, participated in the study. Most of the healthcare professionals exposed to radiation have been working for more than 10 years and at a distance of less than 3 meters to the radiation source. Thirty-two (24.8%) of the participants does not use any personal protective equipment. On the day of exposure to radiation, 91 (70.54%) people were feeling a complaint such as weakness, fatigue, and headache, unlike other days. It was determined that personal protective equipment use was not related to education level and radiation education background.Conclusion: Most of the healthcare professionals exposed to radiation have not received any education on radiation previously and do not use personal protective equipment regularly now. This situation causes the person to have complaints such as weakness, tiredness or headache at the end of the day.
