AI Article Synopsis
- Inverted urothelial papilloma is a rare bladder tumor in kids, and due to its low occurrence, there's no standard management plan.
- A 13-year-old girl was found to have this tumor during a bladder ultrasound, and after removing it, tests confirmed the diagnosis; she has been symptom-free for 3 years after regular check-ups.
- This case emphasizes that inverted papilloma is usually benign and highlights the need for accurate diagnosis to avoid unnecessary treatments, relying instead on non-invasive monitoring.
Article Abstract
Introduction: Inverted urothelial papilloma is a very rare neoplasm in the pediatric population. Because of the low incidence of cases and the reports of atypical components, the management and follow-up plan is not standardized.
Objective: To report a case of inverted papilloma in a female adolescent and to review the diagnostic approach, management, and follow-up plan for this entity.
Clinical Case: We reported a case of inverted papilloma as an incidental finding of a polypoid lesion on bladder ultrasound in a 13-year-old adolescent. Endoscopic resection was performed, and the histopathological analysis was compatible with inverted urothelial papilloma. The patient remains asymptomatic, with no evidence of recurrence after 3 years of ultrasound follow-up.
Conclusion: This case supports the benign beha vior of inverted papilloma, highlighting the importance of a correct histopathological diagnosis for the decision to carry out a non-invasive ultrasound follow-up.
