Abstract

Vesical inverted papilloma (IP) is a transitional disease most commonly found in the bladder, representing a small percentage within the group of vesical neoformations. Although of benign behaviour, some authors advise that a relatively strict monitoring should be used considering its high rate of proliferative activity. It mainly affects males in their fifth to seventh decade, and it presents as any other transitional tumour. In about one fourth of the cases a transitional carcinoma becomes associated throughout its evolution, thus supporting the theory of periodic monitoring.
