A Bladder Mass in a Patient with Henoch-Sch önlein Purpura

A 5-year-old girl presented with purpura and edema in her extremities for 3  days. A diagnosis of Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) was made by her family doctor. One day after the diagnosis, she was admitted to our hospital because of abdominal pain, gross hematuria, and urinary retention. On examination, palpable purpura and mild abdominal tenderness were observed. A blood laboratory examination revealed no abnormalities. Her urine showed gross hematuria, and a urinary protein/creatinine ratio of 1.8 g/gCr.
