title: Urinary bladder tumours in children. Case report of inverted papilloma.
abstract: A short review is given of tumours of the urinary bladder in children, and the first case of an inverted papilloma in a child is reported. The tumour was situated in the trigone of the bladder and was successfully extirpated, with no recurrence at follow-up 9 months later. It was histologically typical of these tumours. The 105 patients described in the literature had an average age of 55 years, whereas the present case is the first to be described arising during the first two decades of life. The most frequent symptoms of such tumours are haematuria and urinary obstruction. It is suggested that the treatment of choice is transurethral excision. The term Brunnian adenoma is recommended for use with this tumour, in order to avoid the impression given by the name papilloma of the bladder, that the tumour is malignant.
