Abstract:
Rhabdomyosarcomas, malignant neoplasms exhibiting skeletal muscle differentiation, are the most common childhood sarcomas. Embryonal rhabdomyosarcomas of the genitourinary tract also occur in children but are rare in adults. We report a case of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma arising in the bladder of a 29-year-old man who presented with dysuria and microscopic hematuria. A partial cystectomy was performed, and he received chemotherapy with vincristine and actinomycin.
