Robotic Assisted Laparoscopic Partial Cystectomy as Treatment for Pseudosarcomatous Fibromyxoid Tumor of the Bladder

Abstract This case is of a 26 year old female evaluated for gross hematuria and suprapubic pain found to have a large bladder tumor. She subsequently underwent successful robotic assisted laparoscopic partial cystectomy. Pathology revealed pseudosarcomatous fibromyxoid tumor, an uncommon lesion that occurs most frequently among young females and must be distinguished from other malignant lesions, as treatment may differ. Partial cystectomy via robotic approach has never been described in the literature as a treatment option for this type of bladder lesion. In this case, the patient did exceptionally well upon follow-up. As such, robotic assisted laparoscopic partial cystectomy is presented a viable option for treatment of select patients with pseudosarcomatous fibromyxoid tumor.
