Summary
A rare bladder hemangioma case in an 8-year-old girl presented with painless hematuria. Surgical removal confirmed cavernous hemangioma, with no recurrence observed post-operation.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Pediatric Surgery
- Vascular Anomalies
Background:
- Bladder hemangiomas are rare benign vascular tumors, infrequently diagnosed in pediatric patients.
- Painless hematuria is a common presenting symptom in children with bladder hemangioma.
Observation:
- An 8-year-old girl presented with painless hematuria, negative for infection.
- Imaging revealed bladder wall deformity and a filling defect; cystoscopy showed reddish-blue masses.
Findings:
- Histological examination confirmed a diagnosis of cavernous hemangioma of the urinary bladder.
- The patient underwent successful partial cystectomy with an uneventful postoperative recovery.
Implications:
- This case highlights the importance of considering bladder hemangioma in the differential diagnosis of pediatric hematuria.
- Early diagnosis and surgical management can lead to favorable outcomes for children with this rare condition.
