A 59-year-old man was referred to our hospital complaining of asymptomatic gross hematuria. Cystoscopy revealed a papillary tumor 8 cm in diameter filling the bladder. The patient underwent transurethral resection of the bladder tumor. The pathological findings revealed the sarcomatoid variant of urothelial carcinoma with a heterologous osteosarcomatous element. He had no metastasis according to our imaging analyses; thus, we planned radical cystectomy after two courses of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (gemcitabine and cisplatin). Following chemotherapy, enlarged pelvic lymph nodes were noted, and extremely aggressive local progression of the bladder tumor was confirmed. The patient ultimately died 6 months after his initial visit to our hospital.

Introduction. Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the bladder or inflammatory pseudotumor is benign in nature. It is also known as a pseudotumor, because it macroscopically mimics infiltrative tumors of the bladder. The first inflammatory pseudotumor ever described was found in the lungs. In the 80s of the last century, it was first described in the urinary bladder. Its etiology is unknown and the incidence is extremely rare. Case Report. We present a case of a 46-year-old man who came to the Emergency Center for the first time due to an unpleasant feeling when urinating, painless hematuria and appearance of blood clots during urination. An urgent diagnosis revealed a tumor mass in the bladder. Additional diagnostics and surgical treatment was performed by transurethral electroresection of the urinary bladder. After the histopathological examination, an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the bladder was diagnosed. The patient was discharged on the third day of admission. On control examinations, the patient underwent only cystoscopy and ultrasonography. No recurrences were observed. Conclusion. A review of the available literature showed that in such cases, after transurethral resection of bladder tumor, most urologists opted for more radical surgical procedures. After a two-year follow-up, we proved that a tumor of the bladder can be kept under control after transurethral resection of bladder tumor, without recurrence, by regular monitoring using ultrasonography and cystoscopy.

298 Background: Since transurethral resection of bladder tumor in one piece (TURBO) was reported in the Journal of Urology in 2000 by Ukai, some urologists carried out TURBO. We analyzed treatment results of TURBO in our hospital and examined the value of this procedure, especially for the pathological findings, recurrence and necessity of second TUR for TURBO. Methods: A total of 14 patients with bladder tumors carried out TURBO under spinal anesthesia, in some cases blocking the obtulater nerve, from April 2006 to June 2009 in our hospital. All cases were followed for over 1 year. The procedure is 1. point marking; 2. circular incision; 3. level incision; and 4. specimen retrieval using a needle electrode in accordance with the Ukai's method. We investigated pathological findings (margin situation), operation time, complications and recurrence. Results: It is possible to diagnose the precise pathlogical findings by TURBO. We judged the width and depth ew in sequential section. There were no complications during and after the operation. Operation time of TURBO (35–170 min) was longer than TUR-BT. Urethral catheter holding period and hospitalization period after TURBO was the same as TUR-BT. TURBO is a relatively safe procedure even for beginners. 5 cases had a recurrence in 13 cases. 2 cases had a recurrence in under 1 year, but the locations were other places. One case had a same place recurrence after 13 months. There were no cases of same place recurrence in under 1 year among margin-negative cases. Therfore we judged that ew-negative cases had no residual cancers. Conclusions: TURBO is a safe and useful procedure that provides precise pathological findings with minimal complications. Second TUR is not necessary for TURBO. TURBO has a possibility to be gold standard of the treatment for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
