We report on a case of rhabdomyosarcoma of the bladder in an adult patient. A 65-year-old woman presented with macroscopic hematuria. Ultrasonography revealed a large bladder tumor and severe hydronephrosis of the right kidney. Computed tomography (CT) confirmed these findings and revealed extravesical tumor extension. Cystoscopic biopsy of the tumor showed botryoid rhabdomyo- sarcoma. The patient's local and general conditions did not allow any adjuvant treatment. The patient died of disease 6 months later.

Long-Term Urinary and Sexual Outcomes in Pediatric Genitourinary Rhabdomyosarcoma Survivors: A Qualitative Study.

Department of Urology, Boston Children's Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts.
Purpose: Genitourinary rhabdomyosarcoma (GU-RMS) often requires multimodal therapy treatment including radiation, chemotherapy, and radical surgery for disease control. The long-term effects of the disease and associated treatments are unclear. We sought to investigate the long-term genitourinary quality of life for adult survivors of pediatric GU-RMS.

Purpose: Pediatric Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a morbid and often lethal condition characterized by a paucity of clinical data. Beyond a detailed risk categorization system, it is unclear if genitourinary (GU) sites (bladder/prostate, paratesticular, female organs) have outcomes distinct from non-GU sites. This study pools primary data from phase-3 clinical trials involving pediatric RMS to evaluate this question.
