Abstract

Introduction: bladder tumors are rare in childhood, only 0.38% of cases belong to people younger than 20 years prevailing the mesodermic origin. Considering those of epithelial origin, more than 100 cases have been diagnosed since 1950, mostly with superficial lesions, benign behavior, more common in males (ratio male / female 5/1 to 7/1), and its etiology has not yet been clarified.
Case presentation: it is reported the case of a 15-year-old black teenager who came to our hospital with a total painless haematuria with no other associated symptoms. After some studies like transabdominal ultrasound and cystoscopy with biopsy it was found that he had a malignant tumor of the vesical urothelium.
Discussion: papillomatous vesical tumor in the right lateral side of the bladder, away from the urethral meatus with approximately 2 cm of diameter and narrow base similar to bladder mucosa coloration. Partial cystectomy was performed evolving without complications.
Conclusions: urothelial tumors in the pediatric population are extremely rare, its biological behavior is less aggressive than the one in the adult population, and the election treatment is the Trans urethral resection.
