Description
Summary:	Rhabdomyosarcoma of the urinary bladder in adults is an extremely rare malignant neoplasm that develops from the bladder wall. We report our experience of a rare case of rhabdomyosarcoma of the bladder in a 45-year-old Moroccan man who was successfully managed with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgical excision of the mass; he was disease free at 24-month follow up. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a rare embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the bladder that was managed with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery. This is why further studies using a large number of patients with a greater longitudinal follow up will be required.
