Benign proliferative lesions of the bladder are exceptional in neonates. We describe a case of a 3-day-old neonate, presenting with bloody meconium and sonographic diagnosis of bladder mass. Cystoscopic biopsies were performed and a diagnosis of polypoid cystitis was made. The patient was treated conservatively and the lesion healed during follow-up. We review the literature of other cases of neonatal bladder masses.

Abstract
Benign proliferative lesions of the bladder are exceptional in neonates. We describe a case of a 3-day-old neonate, presenting with bloody meconium and sonographic diagnosis of bladder mass. Cystoscopic biopsies were performed and a diagnosis of polypoid cystitis was made. The patient was treated conservatively and the lesion healed during follow-up. We review the literature of other cases of neonatal bladder masses.File in questo prodotto:
