Abstract

We presented a female patient, aged 35 years old, with an infrequent bladder pleomorphic leiomyosarcoma of malignancy high level. She had a history of total hematuria of 7 months of evolution. We arrived to the diagnosis of the vesical tumor by citoscopy, descendent urogram and computerized axial tomography. The histological type of the tumor, a pleomorphic leiomyosarcoma, was determined by special IHQ-Alpha-Actin, specific for this kind of tumor. The surgical treatment by cystectomy was partial, followed of coadjutant chemotherapy. We described the results and the patients' evolution during 5 years. Currently the patient is tumor free, and lives her life without problems. We reviewed the literature on the theme.
