Abstract
Background
Urinary bladder masses are uncommon in the pediatric age group and pose a diagnostic challenge, often necessitating histopathological differentiation and confirmation. An unusual mimic of neoplastic bladder mass is inflammatory pseudotumor, and timely identification and diagnosis of which prevents undue patient stress and radical treatment.
Case presentation
We present a case of a 7-year-old female child who presented with hematuria, and a urinary bladder mass was detected on ultrasound which was further characterized by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and diagnosed as an inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT) on histopathology.
Conclusions
This case report describes the imaging features of IPT along with a list of differential diagnoses emphasizing the need for radiologists to be aware of this surprising and rare entity.
