Özet
Introduction: Transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder is a rare entity in childhood. We report on a 9 year- old boy with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder who presented with gross hematuria. Ultrasonography revealed a papillary lesion in the bladder. Cystoscopic evaluation showed a papillary lesion with a stalk located just above the right ureteral orifice and transurethral resection was performed. Pathologic evaluation of the specimen was reported as low grade transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder. Invasion of the lamina propria was not observed.
