An 11-year-old girl presented with hematuria and disturbance of consciousness, and was later diagnosed with bladder tumor. Trans-urethral resection of the bladder tumor showed that it was covered with rough-surfaced reddened mucosa and active bleeding was observed from the top of the mass. Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) was diagnosed postoperatively. Partial cystectomy was additionally carried out because of the possibility of IMT recurrence. IMT should be differentiated from rhabdomyosarcoma, although bladder tumor in childhood is very rare. The primary treatment for IMT is resection of the tumor and careful monitoring for recurrence must be undertaken.
