ABSTRACT
Bladder urothelial carcinoma typically occurs in individuals in their sixties or seventies it rarely occurs in persons <20 years old. Moreover, in young patients, bladder urothelial carcinoma lesions are reported to be solitary and nonmuscle invasive, with low malignant potential. However, 13% of lesions in this age group are reported to be noninvasive high-grade papillary urothelial carcinoma but these are extremely rare in children <15 years. There is no specific consensus regarding treatment of bladder urothelial carcinoma in children and adolescent. In particular, method has been suggested for follow-up of high-grade bladder urothelial carcinoma. Therefore we report our experience of one case the, discuss surveillance methods, and provide a brief review of the literature.
