Abstract:
We present a case of chemotherapy refractory spindle cell rhabdomyosarcoma of the lower urinary tract in a 15-month-old female that ultimately required consolidative surgery with cystectomy, urethrectomy, ovarian-sparing hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, anterior vaginal wall resection, and bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection. Genitourinary reconstruction was performed by ileal conduit creation and vaginoplasty. After completion of her maintenance postoperative chemotherapy regimen, the patient has remained disease-free for approximately 27 months.
