Observation:
- A case of inverted papilloma was incidentally discovered during open adenomectomy.
- The patient had prior ultrasound examination, which did not detect the lesion.
Findings:
- The inverted papilloma presented with papillary fronds projecting into the bladder's stroma, covered by normal urothelium.
- Surgical excision was performed for the benign tumor.
Implications:
- This case contributes to the limited literature on inverted papilloma management.
