Popis: Prostatic-type polyps are uncommon lesions in the urinary tract. They are sometimes found in the lower urinary tract, particularly on the posterior urethra, but are rarely found in the bladder. We report a case of 15-year-old boy who presented with dysuria. Routine ultrasonography showed a mass in the bladder arising near the internal orifice of urethra. Further inspection with cystoscopy followed by transurethral resection and pathology confirmed the lesion to be a prostatic-type polyp. An overview of other similar case studies showed that the pathogenesis of this condition is controversial, haematuria and dysuria are common clinical symptoms and endoscopic transurethral resection is the best treatment option. Since the polyp is benign, recurrence and progression of this disorder is unlikely to occur.
