Abstract
A 14-year-old boy had a 6 month history of recurrent macroscopic haematuria. A papillary non-invasive transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder was found at cystoscopy and treated by transurethral resection. In comparison to adults, bladder carcinoma is a rare cause of haematuria in children who appear to have a favourable prognosis.
