Abstract:
Large bladder masses in children are extremely rare pathological lesions. They can present as a gross hematuria, with irritable or obstructive voiding symptoms and a urinary tract infection. Their differential diagnosis must include for genitourinary malignancies, such as rhabdomyosarcoma, as well as benign inflammatory lesions. A case of a bladder mass in a three-year-old girl is reported, which was finally diagnosed as localized perforated appendicitis.
