First case of lymphangioma of the bladder in an adult.

ABSTRACT

Lymphangioma is a congenital malformation consisting of a developmental or primary defect of the lymphatic channels. We report the first case of lymphangioma of the bladder in an adult and review the literature. In our case a 49-year-old man presented with irritative voiding symptoms, cystoscopy showed a non-papillary tumor between the two orifices within the trigone, and transurethral resection was performed. Three months after operation the irritative voiding symptoms had improved and cystoscopy showed no residual tumor.
