Abstract
Apparently, epithelial bladder tumors in children differ markedly from their more malignant counterparts in adults. The childhood bladder epithelial tumors morphologically are of a lower grade malignancy, show no evidence of invasion and no tendency to recur. Therefore, all cases thus far reported have resulted in a benign clinical course with a 100 per cent survival rate. These childhood epithelial bladder tumors apparently do not recur, which is in sharp contrast to their adult counterparts. However, this should not lessen the urologist's obligation to provide routine cystoscopic re-evaluation.
