Abstract
Relevance. Leukoplakia of the bladder is a rare disease, particularly in children. Most studies are based on individual clinical cases, and there are few descriptions of the disease in pediatric practice. Data on the etiology, prevalence, diagnosis, and treatment of the disease are contradictory and are based on adult patients.
Materials and methods. This article describes a clinical case of bladder leukoplakia in childhood.
Results. A case of diagnosis and treatment of a 14-year-old patient with leukoplakia of the bladder is presented. The diagnosis of leukoplakia was confirmed by cystoscopy and biopsy of the affected area, after which transurethral resection was performed.
Conclusion. Diagnosis of bladder leukoplakia in childhood is difficult because of the nonspecific nature of the symptoms and the rare occurrence of the disease. The optimal method for the treatment of bladder leukoplakia is transurethral resection of the leukoplakia zone and dynamic follow-up.
