A Transitional Cell Tumor of the Bladder in a Young Adult: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF UROLOGICAL SURGERY - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Bladder tumors are rarely seen in young people under the age of 40. Its development after the exposure to industrial carcinogens for many years suggests that the environmental factors play a significant role in the development of transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. The low prevalence of transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder in young people supports the existence of genetic component. Herewith, we present an 18-year-old patient without a history of exposure to any chemical agent and a review of the relevant literature.
