Deskripsi
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMT) of the urinary bladder is a remarkably rare bladder tumor. To this day, no standardized treatment protocol has been recognized. Here we report a case of bladder IMT in a 14-year-old girl presenting with urgency, frequency, and gross painless hematuria for a week. Complete excision of the bladder IMT was amenable with transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT). Follow-up cystoscopy did not detect any recurrence. Minimally invasive bladder-sparing treatments are a valid option for treating IMT of the bladder.
