Bladder Papilloma in A Child

Abstract

A case of bladder papilloma in a 12-year-old boy is presented. He had had painless, intermittent hematuria. An excretory urogram revealed a filling defect in the bladder. A walnut-sized, pedunculated papilloma was removed by transvesical extirpation. Histological examination showed a papillary bladder tumour, grade 1 (Bergkvist et al., 1965). Our patient also had a Cushing syndrome and later a bilateral adrenalectomy was done. The coexistence of two such rare conditions may not be purely coincidental. Control cystoscopies have shown no sign of tumoral recurrence.
