Abstract

We report the case of an 83-year-old man who developed primary rhabdomyosarcoma of the urinary bladder 18 years after having a squamous carcinoma of the bladder treated with interstitial radiotherapy. The literature on adult urinary bladder rhabdomyosarcoma and radiation induced rhabdomyosarcoma is reviewed.
