Abstract

The bladder rhabdomyosarcoma in children is a rare tumor. We report a case of bladder rhabdomyosarcoma in a child 3 years, who consulted for more dysuria hematuria. The aim of this work is to remind the symptomatology and clinical aspects of para-clinical examinations of this disease in children after a review of the literature of this disease and discuss treatment options. The rhabdomyosarcoma should be discussed before any symptoms of dysuria associated with hematuria in children. His diagnosis is suspected by medical imaging and confirmed by pathology. Our attitude has been resection of the tumor, then chemotherapy.
