Abstract
A young woman who presented with a recurrent bladder tumor was detected on follow up to be harboring a prolapsed bladder tumor at the external urinary meatus mimicking an anterior vaginal polyp. Excision and histopathological examination revealed an organized hematoma (pseudotumor). The literature regarding this clinical curiosity and its differential diagnosis is reviewed and discussed.
