Bladder Benign Inverted Papilloma in Young Men: A Rare Case Report

Understanding Inverted Papilloma of the Bladder

  • Inverted papilloma of the bladder (IPB) is a rare benign lesion, accounting for only 2% of all bladder tumors.
  • It is more common in men aged 60–70, but occurrences in younger individuals, like in this case, raise questions about alternative risk factors.
  • Common symptoms include hematuria, urinary obstruction, and lower urinary tract discomfort.

Case Summary:

  • A 35-year-old male presented with gross hematuria and urinary obstruction symptoms.
  • Cystoscopy revealed a small papillary lesion at the bladder trigone.
  • Transurethral resection was performed, and histopathology confirmed an inverted papilloma diagnosis.
  • The patient remained symptom-free with no recurrence over a five-year follow-up.

Clinical Insights and Implications:

  • Standard treatment involves transurethral resection followed by regular cystoscopic surveillance.
  • Although benign, IPB requires monitoring due to its potential association with urothelial carcinomas.
