Title: Hamartoma of the urinary bladder. Author: Ota T, Kawai K, Hattori K, Uchida K, Akaza H, Harada M. Journal: Int J Urol; 1999 Apr; 6(4):211-4. PubMed ID: 10226842. Abstract: BACKGROUND: Hamartomas of the urinary bladder are extremely rare. We report on a case in a 58-year-old female who presented with the chief complaint of pain on urination. METHODS/RESULTS: Cystoscopy revealed a solid tumor on the left posterior wall of the bladder. Transurethral resection of the tumor failed to provide a definitive pathological diagnosis of the tumor. Thus, we performed partial cystectomy. The pathological diagnosis was hamartoma arising from the urinary bladder. CONCLUSION: This is the ninth case diagnosed as urinary bladder hamartoma to be reported in the literature.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
