A 2-year-old boy with rhabdomyosarcoma of the prostate, extended to the urinary bladder, was represented. The patient presented with dysuria. He received combination chemotherapy of vincristine, actinomycin-D, cyclophosphamide and adriamycin, and Linac irradiation following by total retropubic prostatectomy with segmental resection of the bladder. There was no residual sarcomatous cell in the surgical specimen. However, he returned to hospital suffering from vomiting and lower abdominal mass 4 months after surgery. The relapsing decreased 95% in size by PVP therapy involving cis-platinum, vinblastine and pepleomycin. He is alive with small calcificated shadow on CT 4 months after the chemotherapy. Progresses on the treatment for this type of sarcoma were also discussed.
