[Bladder villous adenoma: report of a new case].

OBJECTIVES

Villous adenoma is a benign neoplasia, the appearance of which in the urinary tract is extraordinarily unfrequent. We report a new case recently experienced in our department.

METHODS

We report the case with its past urologic history, clinical picture, diagnostic tests, and treatment.

RESULTS

Pathologic report confirmed the diagnosis of bladder villous adenoma, being transurethral resection the only treatment applied to leave the patient disease-free.

CONCLUSIONS

Prognosis of this kind of neoplasia, which is unfrequent, is excellent; being endoscopic resection curative, with no local or distant progression, except in cases associated with adenocarcinoma foci, in which local recurrence or distant metastasis are possible, and a more aggressive treatment might be indicated.
