  ABSTRACT: Background: Bladder tumors are rare in children. Their clinical manifestations are similar to those found in adults. Only pathological examination of the lesion can confirm the diagnosis. Case Presentation: We report the first case of bladder urothelial carcinoma in Gabon in a 12-year-old child, revealed by terminal, then total, hematuria, without anemia. The history revealed no evidence of exposure to secondhand smoke or urinary schistosomiasis. Ultrasound and cystoscopic examinations concluded that it was a polypoid lesion of the left lateral bladder wall. Procedure: We performed endoscopic resection of the tumor, and pathological examination revealed a squamous cell carcinoma. Outcomes: The postoperative course was uneventful, and cystoscopic follow-ups at 3, 6, and 9 months were normal. Conclusion: Bladder tumors in children are revealed by hematuria and endoscopic resection is the rule and constitutes the first treatment.
