Urothelial Papilloma of the Urinary Bladder in a Child

TL;DR

This paper reports a rare case of urothelial papilloma in a child's bladder, a benign tumor that typically has a good outcome.

Contribution

The novelty lies in documenting a rare pediatric case of urothelial papilloma with specific clinical and anatomical features.

Findings

Urothelial papilloma in children is rare and often presents with gross hematuria.

The tumor was located on the left lateral bladder wall near the ureteral orifice.

The prognosis for such benign tumors is generally favorable.

Abstract

Urothelial papilloma (UP) of the bladder is an extremely rare benign neoplasm in pediatrics, often manifested as gross hematuria. These lesions are typically small, well‐circumscribed, located on the lateral or posterior bladder wall, frequently near the ureteral orifice. These small masses typically have a good prognosis with a favorable outcome.

An exophytic mass located approximately 1 cm away from the left ureteral orifice on the left lateral bladder wall.
