Inverted papilloma of the urinary bladder in a girl
Insights
This study details a rare case of inverted papilloma in a 10-year-old girl
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Pediatric Oncology
Background:
- Inverted papilloma is a rare bladder tumor.
- Pediatric cases are exceptionally uncommon, with limited data on their behavior.
Observation:
- A 10-year-old girl presented with intermittent gross hematuria.
- Cystoscopy revealed a 6x20 mm polypoid mass with a long stalk in the bladder.
Findings:
- Endoscopic resection was performed.
- Histology confirmed the trabecular type of inverted papilloma.
- This is the first reported case in a female child.
Implications:
- The biological potential of pediatric inverted papilloma is not well understood.
- Long-term urological surveillance is recommended for this patient.
Abstract:
We report a case of inverted papilloma of the urinary bladder in a 10-year-old girl. She was referred to us with intermittent asymptomatic gross hematuria. A polypoid, pedunculated mass, which had a thin and long stalk, approximately 6 x 20 mm in diameter, was observed by cystscopic examination at the right paratrigone. The lesion was resected endoscopically. Histological findings were compatible with the trabecular type of inverted papilloma. There have been only 3 cases reported of inverted papilloma in children, and no report has previously been published concerning a girl. Since the biological potential of pediatric inverted papilloma remains unclear, we believe that our patient should undergo periodic and detailed urological examinations.
