We discuss here the cases of two patients who presented with the chief complaint of painless gross hematuria without hypertension. Ultrasonography of each patient revealed a limited polypoid mass of the posterior wall of the bladder, and cystoscopy showed that each was covered by apparently normal mucosa. Treatment consisted of transurethral resection, and the patients have been followed for 2 years without recurrence. In case 1, a 24-year-old man presented with gross hematuria since several months before presentation. Sonographic evaluation showed a well-defined mass of 2 cm in diameter in the posterior wall of the bladder. On cystoscopy, the mass was seen to be covered by mucosa of normal appearance. The patient was hospitalized and necessary tests were performed. Routine blood chemistries were within normal limits and urinary cytology and cultures were negative. Transurethral resection of the ovoid mass, which was located lateral to the left ureteric orifice, was performed.
