Transitional cell papillary carcinoma of the bladder in a child

Abstract

We report a rare case of transitional cell papillary carcinoma of the bladder in a 10-year-old girl who had hematuria. The tumor was diagnosed and assessed through VCUG and ultrasound. The tumor protruded into the urethra during micturition and its mobility was observed by both diagnostic procedures.
