| Abstrakt: | Bladder cancer most commonly affects older adults. Although extremely rare, it can still be detected in the younger population. Bladder cancer often exhibits distinct behavior in these cases, typically manifesting as a low-grade, non-muscle-invasive disease. We documented a remarkable case involving a 24-year-old female diagnosed with high-grade muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Our report emphasizes the distinctive challenges encountered by clinicians in the journey of diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of bladder cancer in young patients.
