bladder hemangioma laser treatment

summary

Bladder hemangioma is a rare tumor recognized mainly in first two decades

of human life. Hematuria is its predominant symptom. The case of 10 years

old boy whom the partial cystectomy with an incomplete removal of the

hemangioma has been made at two is presented. During the following years

he had two transurethral coagulations of the fragments of the tumors. The

successive hematuria were so dramatic that the radical cystectomy for the

salvation of life has been considered. However, the use of Nd: YAG laser led

to control of hematuria and then to complete destroy of the said tumor. The

annual observation of the above mentioned patient is the basis for evaluation

of the treatment as very good although the boy must be under the still

observation.
