A rare benign bladder tumor, inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor, was diagnosed in a 30-year-old woman. Transurethral resection (TUR) is the optimal treatment, offering an excellent long-term prognosis for this uncommon condition.

Area of Science:

Uropathology
Oncology
Surgical Pathology

Background:

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare benign neoplasm of mesenchymal origin.
While IMT can occur in various locations, bladder involvement is exceptionally uncommon.
Accurate diagnosis is crucial to differentiate IMT from malignant bladder neoplasms.

Observation:

A 30-year-old woman presented with recurrent urinary tract infections.
Abdominal ultrasound revealed an incidental bladder mass.
Histopathological examination post-transurethral resection (TUR) confirmed the diagnosis of IMT.

Findings:

The bladder mass was diagnosed as an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor.
This benign tumor, also known as inflammatory pseudotumor or pseudosarcoma, has a mesenchymal origin.

The patient's presentation included recurrent urinary tract infections and an incidentally discovered bladder mass.

Implications:

Transurethral resection (TUR) is the recommended treatment for bladder IMT.
Early diagnosis and appropriate management are essential to avoid misdiagnosis as malignancy.
Patients with bladder IMT treated with TUR can expect an excellent long-term prognosis.
