A subsequent CT-Scan (pre- and postcontrast) confirmed the presence of a 13 mm mass arising within the left renal pelvis and extending into the upper pole of the kidney (Figures 1(a) and 1(b)).

A 30 Fr nephroscope was introduced and the fibroepithelial polyp was visualized (Figure 2). A 25 mm Amplatz GOOSE NECK Snare (Figure 3) was deployed across the base of the fibroepithelial polyp and this was subsequently excised in situ (Figure 4).
