Abstract
- Fertility preserving radical cystectomy has been reported in young males with leiomyosarcoma and transitional cell carcinoma but not in females. We present a case of 19-year-old lady with mesenchymal tumour of urinary bladder with myogenic differentiation who was managed with fertility preserving radical cystectomy. As the patient was just 19-year-old a consensus was made to preserve the internal genitalia (both the ovaries and uterus) in order to restore the fertility. Immunohistochemistry was compatible with mesenchymal tumour with myogenic differentiation. Adjuvant chemotherapy (Ifosfamide, CDDP and Etocid) was given. Patient is doing well at a follow-up of 6 months.
