Robot assisted laparoscopic partial cystectomy for inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor with simultaneous intraoperative flexible cystoscopy for tumor mapping

Abstract

Bladder masses are an infrequent occurrence rarely suspected in cases of pediatric hematuria. Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors represent one differential diagnosis that is difficult to characterize as purely benign and should therefore be given special consideration. Although uncommon, this is an important entity to recognize for potential bladder sparing and minimally invasive surgical approaches.
