Abstract

A 36-year-old male was referred to our department for further examination of asymptomatic gross hematuria emanating from a bladder tumor. Cystoscopy revealed a broad-based tumor 40 mm in diameter. Urinary cytology was negative. Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging suggested a muscle invasive tumor. Transurethral resection was performed, and the pathological findings revealed an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor. We herein report a rare case of bladder inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor.
