Abstract:
A retrospective analysis of 25 patients seen at Seoul National University Hospital in whom transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder developed at age thirty or younger was conducted to determine whether age alone influenced the course of disease or not. The tumors are usually low grade and low stage. There was no progression of disease in recurrent cases. There was no correlation between recurrence and size or multiplicity of bladder tumor in patients less than 31 years old. In cases of invasive and metastatic tumors, no evidence was found to suggest that transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder in patients thirty years of age and under differs clinically from that of older patients.
