Abstract
- An inflammatory pseudotumor of the urinary bladder might cause a large intraluminal mass that clinically and radiologically simulates a malignant tumor. This benign lesion analogous to nodular fasciitis of soft tissue but occurring in the bladder can easily be mistaken for a sarcoma because by light microscopy it consists of elongated strap cells that resemble rhabdomyoblasts. It is important to recognize this lesion as benign to avoid the potentially serious consequences of misdiagnosis. Herein we report a case of inflammatory pseudotumor of the urinary bladder occurring in a 21-year-old male and review the literatures.
