Recent advancements in endoscopic treatment, such as holmium:yttrium\u2013aluminum\u2013garnet laser, have created more options for practitioners to treat multiple ureteral fibroepithelial polyps cases. However, the use of holmium:yttrium\u2013aluminum\u2013garnet laser multilobulated ureteral fibroepithelial polyps may have technical difficulties.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title><jats:p>An 11\u2010year\u2010old boy with intermittent right flank pain revealed multiple ureteral fibroepithelial polyps approximately 3\u2009cm long at the right ureteropelvic junction. The ureteral fibroepithelial polyps were resected using flexible ureteroscopy using thulium:YAG laser. A second\u2010look ureteroscopy revealed no recurrence, residual polyps, or ureteral stricture.
