Abstract

A 6-week-old female presented with gross hematuria and was diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma of the bladder through ultrasound and cystoscopic biopsies, along with a negative metastatic workup. She was treated with transurethral resection, chemotherapy consisting of with vincristine, cycolphosphamide, doxorubicin, ifosfamide and etoposide, and partial cystectomy.
