Adult Urinary Bladder Rhabdomyosarcoma

Rhabdomyosarcomas, malignant neoplasms exhibiting skeletal muscle differentiation, are the most common childhood sarcomas and most commonly arise in the head-and-neck region. Embryonal rhabdomyosarcomas of the genitourinary tract also occur in children, but are distinctly uncommon in adults. We report a case of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma arising in the bladder of a 39-year-old woman who presented with urgency, frequency, and gross hematuria.

Urinary Bladder Rhabdomyosarcoma (Botryoid Rhabdomyosarcoma) in a Labrador Retriever Dog

Urinary bladder rhabdomyosarcoma from a 9-month-old female Labrador retriever dog is described. Grossly reddish black multiple friable multinodular masses filled the lumen of the urinary bladder. Histologically, the masses consisted of round, fusiform and polygonal cells with various consistencies. There were also some strap-like cells with chained nuclei and cross-striations. It was diagnosed as a urinary bladder rhabdomyosarcoma. Additionally, the diagnosis was confirmed by immunoreactivity of tumor cells for canine myoglobin.

Computed tomography in botryoid rhabdomyosarcoma of urinary bladder

Genituorinary tract is a common site of origin of rhabdomyosarcomas. Not very many cases of urinary bladder rhabdomyosarcomas have been reported in the computed tomography literature. We present computed tomography appearances which were virtually classical to diagnose botryoid variety of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma in a two year old male child.

Rhabdomyosarcoma of the adult urinary bladder after radiotherapy for carcinoma

We report the case of an 83-year-old man who developed primary rhabdomyosarcoma of the urinary bladder 18 years after having a squamous carcinoma of the bladder treated with interstitial radiotherapy. The literature on adult urinary bladder rhabdomyosarcoma and radiation induced rhabdomyosarcoma is reviewed.

Rhabdomyosarcoma of the Urinary Bladder in Dogs

Rhabdomyosarcoma of the urinary bladder in four dogs is described. The tumours were large fungating masses that protruded from the wall into the lumen of the bladder. There was local invasion of the bladder, but metastases were not found at necropsy. One dog was 1 year old when first seen, one was 14 months, and two were 18 months old. Three of the four dogs were St. Bernards. Three other published cases of rhabdomyosarcoma of the canine urinary bladder are reviewed, and features of this tumour are compared with those of botryoid sarcoma in man.
