Abstract

Partial cystectomy with wide local excision may be considered a suitable option for selective cases of locally advanced bladder leiomyosarcoma without evidence of distant metastasis; thereby preserving the functional outcome and quality of life. A negative margin, complete tumor resection, and frequent follow-up in such patients are mandatory.

Keywords: case report; partial cystectomy; primary leiomyosarcoma of the bladder.
