Transitional cell carcinoma of bladder in children.
Transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder occurs rarely during the first two decades of life. The malignancy is usually low grade and noninvasive, with a low recurrence rate. Transurethral resection or fulguration is the treatment of choice, and the prognosis is favorable. We present 4 patients, aged two to eighteen years, with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder and review the literature.
