title: Transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder in children: radiologic appearance and differential diagnosis.
abstract: Primary epithelial tumors of the bladder are rare in children. We report a case of transitional cell carcinoma (TCCa) of the bladder in a 10-year-old boy who was evaluated with intravenous urography, ultrasonography, and computed tomography (CT). The radiographic appearance and a differential diagnosis are discussed. The literature of TCCa of the bladder in children is reviewed.
