“…Cystoscopy can diagnose sarcoma botryoides, which shows multiple translucent grapelike polyps arising from the anterior and lateral bladder walls at the bladder neck. [8] Ultrasonography may be inconclusive in diagnosis because the appearance of the mass may be variable. [9] Tissue biopsy may be unhelpful as the tumour usually appears histologically benign.…”

“…[9] Tissue biopsy may be unhelpful as the tumour usually appears histologically benign. [8] Conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), such as T1 and T2weighted imaging, is beneficial in diagnosis as it shows the extent of the tumour, composition and local spread. In contrast, multiparametric MRI may show the malignant or benign nature of the tumour.…”

Sarcoma botryoides of the bladder is a variant of the embryonal form of rhabdomyosarcoma that is characterized by protrusion of tumour cells and stroma into a body cavity like a bunch of grapes. Apart from the bladder, the embryonal form of this tumour can occur in other areas such as the vagina, nasopharynx, middle ear and common bile duct. One of its complications is obstruction of the bladder outlet, presenting as acute urinary retention and acute kidney injury. Pressure on the adjacent tissues and organs is also well recognized. It has an intermediate prognosis which depends on age, site and the extent of disease at diagnosis. We report a case of sarcoma botryoides in a 3-year-old Nigerian girl, confirmed by imaging and histology.

Of 32 patients seen in Memorial Center since 1920 with myosarcomas of the bladder or prostate 26 were male and six were female. The tumors arose in the bladder in 20, in the prostate in 11 and in one patient both organs were involved. Sarcomas of the bladder account for two or three of every thousand bladder cancers and for one of every thousand prostate cancers. Seventy‐six patients, or approximately 10% of reported cases, have survived 3 years or more from diagnosis. Forty‐five of those 76 sarcomas were reported as specific myosarcomas, i.e., embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, adult rhabdomyosarcoma, leiomyosarcoma or combinations of those three. Thirty‐six arose in the bladder, nine arose in the prostate. The most successful methods of treatment have been cystectomy for embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the bladder and segmental resection for leiomyosarcoma of the bladder. Rhabdomyosarcoma of the bladder and prostate has seldom been managed successfully, so that no particular treatment can be unconditionally recommended. Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the prostate is as yet an incurable condition.

One hundred twenty‐five cases of sarcoma of the bladder and prostate in children have been reviewed from the literature. Eighty‐seven arose in the bladder and 37 in the prostate. One arose in an unknown site. Seventy percent of patients with rhabdomyosarcoma of the bladder survived following total cystectomy; no patient survived following more limited surgical resection. Five of 25 patients with rhabdomyosarcoma of the prostate survived following limited or radical surgery, irradiation in 3 patients, and chemotherapy in all cases. No patient survived without chemotherapy. Review of our own experience revealed a survival of 78% (seven of nine patients) for rhabdomyosarcoma of the bladder following radical surgery. Four of these patients had chemotherapy and two had irradiation also.
