Abstract
Leiomyosarcoma is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm arising from urinary bladder. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment. There is no consensus regarding adjuvant treatment. A 45 year old lady was evaluated for hematuria and cystoscopy showed a solid tumor arising from base of the urinary bladder. She underwent transurethral resection of bladder tumor and was referred to us with a histopathology report of leiomyosarcoma. She underwent radical cystectomy with ileal conduit and received adjuvant chemotherapy in view of high grade histology.
