Adult bladder rhabdomyosarcoma: A case report

Abstract

Rhabdomyosarcomas (RMS) are mesenchymal tumors that develop at the expense of striated muscle fibers. It accounts for 6% of childhood malignancies. Rhabdomyosarcomas of the genitourinary tract also occur in children but are distinctly uncommon in adults. We report a case of bladder rhabdomyosarcoma in a 72-year-old patient who presented with gross hematuria and discuss difficulties of diagnosis and treatment.
