Clinical Image

The bladder is an uncommon site for an aggressive Angiomyxoid tumour. We have recently managed 2 females in their 20’s. Both had lower urinary tract symptoms and microscopic haematuria. After they underwent standard diagnostic work up (ultrasound, cystoscopy and biopsy) a diagnosis of angiomyxoid tumour was made (Figure 1A and 1B). This rare tumour is considered as an aggressive, benign lesion, and initial management is localized excision, followed by imaging to quantify if there is any recurrence. So far, both our patients had aggressive endoscopic resection without recurrence at 1 year.
