Myxoid liposarcoma of bladder: a rare case

INTRODUCTION: Myxoid liposarcoma of the bladder is a rare mesenchymal tumor which is difficult to diagnose and carries a poor prognosis. The primary treatment is complete surgical resection which is usually followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We report a case of 26 years female who presented with a large abdominal mass and was initially misdiagnosed to be arising from ovaries and subsequently discovered to be a mesenchymal tumor arising from the bladder. DISCUSSION: Myxoid liposarcoma is an exceedingly rare but aggressive mesenchymal tumor of the bladder often with misleading imaging appearances. CONCLUSION: Surgical resection, when feasible, plays the leading role in its management, and should be attempted in all potential patients.
