Hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors that can occur almost anywhere in the human body.A bladder hemangioma is rare, constituting only 0.6% of all bladder tumors.It is less common in childhood and adolescence.Its treatment is controversial due to the risk of bleeding.An 11-year-old male patient presented with persistent gross hematuria and pelvic pain.Cystoscopy revealed fibrotic bands in the bladder and hemangioma areas that were raised from the mucosa and not raised from the surface at the junction of the left lateral wall of the bladder dome and on the left side of the bladder neck.Endovascular embolization was performed with polyvinyl alcohol particles.During follow-up in the last year, no local recurrence was observed, and there was no hematuria according to the urinalysis.It is very important to distinguish bladder hemangiomas from other malignant vascular tumors since the required treatment approach and prognosis significantly differ.
