Summary
This case report details a rare instance of primary bladder alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) in a 32-year-old woman. The patient achieved a 10-year disease-free survival after transurethral resection, highlighting successful management of this uncommon tumor.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Oncology
- Pathology
Background:
- Alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) is a rare soft tissue malignancy.
- Primary ASPS of the urinary bladder is exceptionally uncommon, with limited cases reported globally.
Observation:
- A 32-year-old woman presented with hematuria and dysuria.
- Imaging revealed a 2-cm vascularized tumor in the bladder trigone.
- Pathological examination confirmed alveolar soft part sarcoma.
Findings:
- The patient underwent transurethral resection of the bladder tumor.
- Comprehensive staging revealed no distant metastasis, indicating primary bladder ASPS.
- A decade of follow-up showed no recurrence or metastasis post-surgery.
Implications:
- This case contributes to the limited literature on primary bladder ASPS.
- It underscores the importance of thorough diagnostic workup for rare bladder tumors.
- Successful surgical management and long-term surveillance are crucial for patient outcomes.
