Abstract

This report describes a case of recurrent pseudosarcomatous myofibroblastic proliferation (PMP) of the bladder with a satisfactory clinical course after a 3.5-year follow-up. There is a lack of reports of successful treatment experiences on recurrent PMP of the bladder in adults. For the primary lesion, a transurethral resection of the bladder tumor (TUR-BT) was performed; for the recurrent lesion, a combination regime of TUR-BT and intravesical mitomycin C proved effective treatment. The patient did not suffer local recurrence or distal metastasis during the 3.5-year follow-up. Our experience may serve as treatment reference to urologists who encounter similar cases.
