Abstract
Introduction
Perivascular epithelioid cell tumors (PEComa) are a very uncommon mesenchymal cancer with uncertain malignant potential.
Materials and Methods
A computerized research on Pub Med was performed regarding bladder PEComa. We evaluated the literature cases and described a case of bladder PEComa.
Results
PEComa of the bladder is a very rare neoplasm and only 15 cases have been reported so far.
Conclusions
Bladder PEComa involves young subjects of both genders, mostly under 40 years of age. Surgical treatment (partial or radical cystectomy) is the most common management.
A long-term follow-up and larger series are required to better understand the best clinical approach to bladder PEComa.
