Simultaneous Occurrence of Urothelial Bladder Carcinoma and Primary Retroperitoneal Leiomyosarcoma

摘要

A case of primary carcinoma of the urinary bladder associated with a primary retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma is presented. Due to the lack of early symptoms, diagnosis of the retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma was late and therefore the prognosis was poor. Twelve months after diagnosis the patient died not of the bladder tumor, but of the recurrent leiomyosarcoma.
