Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is among the most common pediatric solid malignancies. Fusion-negative, embryonal RMS is the predominant histology among prostate and bladder lesions. Management strategies depend on the clinical stage and risk group. Although the optimal strategy continues to evolve, the field has transitioned from radical upfront resection to organ preservation strategies with multi-modal therapy, including chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. Survivors frequently develop late complications, including impaired fertility and sexual function, bladder dysfunction, and secondary malignancies. Our case describes an 11-year-old male who developed a radiation-induced prostatic sarcoma. We present a novel surgical technique and highlight the importance of multidisciplinary care.
