Incidental finding of an angiomyxoma of the urinary bladder: A case report of a rare but aggressive tumour

Angiomyxoma is a rare mesenchymal tumor arising in the pelvic and perineal regions. Diagnosis of urinary bladder angiomyxoma is difficult, as it lacks typical signs and symptoms, and relies on immunochemistry. We present the case of a 53 year old patient presenting with an incidental finding of blad...

Zusammenfassung:Angiomyxoma is a rare mesenchymal tumor arising in the pelvic and perineal regions. Diagnosis of urinary bladder angiomyxoma is difficult, as it lacks typical signs and symptoms, and relies on immunochemistry. We present the case of a 53 year old patient presenting with an incidental finding of bladder tumor during an ultrasound. After a complete transurethral resection was performed, the pathology report led to angiomyxoma diagnosis. After 6 weeks a secondary TURB, along with a CT urogram showed no evidence of residual volume. Transurethral resection seems to be a safe and effective treatment of urinary bladder angiomyxoma.
