Two cases of bladder rhabdomyosarcoma and one case of bladder leiomyosarcoma are reported. One case of rhabdomyosarcoma, 5-year-old boy, has been free of tumor for 91 months after total cystectomy and the other case, 3-year-old boy, died 15 months after total cystectomy followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy (Actinomycin D). A case of leiomyosarcoma, 26-year-old female, has been free of tumor for 6 months after total cystectomy followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy (Actinomycin D, Vincristine).
One hundred thirty cases of bladder sarcoma during the past 20 years (1960-1980) were reviwed in the Japanese literature to which 3 new cases were added. We have made a discussion on age distribution, sex, treatment and postoperative course.
