Abstract:
Transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder in children is rare, low grade, noninvasive and rarely recurrent. A l2-year old boy with painless gross hematuria showed a 1.5cm sized papillary mass on cystoscopy. Histologic examination showed grade I transitional cell carcinoma without muscle invasion. Three months postoperative cystoscopy and urine cytology were negative but adjacent vesical biopsy revealed carcinoma in situ. We report a case of transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder in a child and treated with transurethral resection and intravesical BCG therapy.
