In spite of the extremely low amount of published cases, the incidence rate is between 0.4 and 0.1% before the age of 20. Insomuch that only less than 30 cases have been reported in the first decade.

In this case report, we aim to discuss the diagnosis and treatment of a 10-year-old male patient with urothelial carcinoma of bladder who admitted to our clinic.
