Özet: Introduction The prevalence of bladder cancer in children and young adults is less than 1%. There is not enough evidence about clinical behavior of bladder cancer in younger patients. Our aim in this study; To evaluate the clinical behaviour and histopathological features of bladder tumors in patients under 40 years old in our clinic. Histopathology, anatomical topography, stage, grade, treatment, risk factors, tumor recurrence, progression and mean follow-up times were recorded. Material and methods The clinical and histopathological data of the patients who were operated in our clinic between 2000-2020 with the diagnosis of bladder neoplasia were analyzed retrospectively. Results A total of 88 patients were included in the study. When histopathological results were evaluated, 51.1% of patients were reported to be malignant. Papillary urothelial carcinoma was the most common subtype of urotelial carcinoma. There was Ta tumor in 97.7%, low grade tumor in 95.3% of patients with transitional cell bladder cancer. When we consider all of the patients, the recurrence rate was 23.8%, and the progression rate was 14.2%. Conclusion Bladder tumors diagnosed at young age tend to be at a low pathological stage and have relatively low recurrence, progression rates. Therefore; more conservative approaches should be preferred in patients in this age group and should be followed up closely after treatment.
