Urothelial papilloma: a rare cause of gross haematuria in childhood

BMJ Case Reports

Abstract

Bladder urothelial papilloma is extremely rare in the paediatric population. It usually presents as painless gross haematuria and its diagnosis implies a high index of suspicion as other causes of haematuria predominate in this age range. We describe a 9-year-old boy with two episodes of gross haematuria occurring 1 year apart with spontaneous resolution after 2 days. Bladder ultrasound revealed an endovesical papillary lesion of 24×24 mm suggestive of bladder tumour. The diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological examination of the specimen obtained by cystoscopy with transurethral resection. After 3 years of follow-up with ultrasound and cystoscopy, there are no signs of recurrence. Due to the low prevalence of urothelial papilloma, paediatric guidelines for appropriate management and follow-up are unavailable, making this a challenging entity.
