Robot-assisted Partial Cystectomy for Treatment of Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor of the Bladder

Sumario:Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors rarely occur in the urinary bladder. These masses follow an indolent course, but due to their histologic similarities to more malignant types of bladder masses, they must be differentiated with immunohistochemical staining. Once diagnosed, the mainstay of treatment for these masses is surgical resection. Due to advancements in robotic surgery, new surgical techniques can be employed to treat these masses with fewer perioperative complications. We report a case of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the urinary bladder in a 29-year-old male treated with robot-assisted partial cystectomy.
