Papilloma of the Bladder

Abstract

The pedunculated papillary tumors of the bladder f papilloma) should be separated from other bladder tumors in selection of treatment and prognosis. They behave more like benign tumors. Biopsy examination may be useful, but careful cystoscopic evaluation supplemented by intravenous urography is of greater importance in proper recognition and selection of treatment. Complete local excision and destruction by transurethral resection or through suprapubic cystotomy afford excellent results. Careful follow-up is essential to long-term success.
