چکیده
We present a case of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the urinary bladder. A 15-year-old boy with no previous history of malignancy presented to our hospital with hematuria, frequent micturition and urgent urination for two weeks; on contrast enhanced CT scan of the pelvis, we found a bladder tumor. Immunohistochemitry and fluorescent in situ hybridization confirmed the diagnosis. The patient underwent partial cystectomy. During the follow up, the patient was free of recurrence within 25 months. Inflammatory myofibroblastic of the urinary bladder may have a good prognosis after surgical resection.
