A case of giant ureteric polyp is reported. Histologically it was classified as a ureteric hamartoma showing a predominantly fibrovascular pattern. Conservative excision of the polyp gave a satisfactory result. The problems encountered in the diagnosis and management are discussed. A new classification of tumorous lesions of the ureter is suggested. This essentially separates the true tumours from the ureteric polyps.
