Leiomyosarcoma of the bladder eighteen years after cyclophosphamide therapy for retinoblastoma.
We report a case of leiomyosarcoma in the bladder which occurred in an 18-year-old boy who had been treated with cyclophosphamide over a period of 6 years for retinoblastoma diagnosed 50 days postpartum. Total cystectomy and formation of an ileal conduit were performed. Three years after the operation, he was tumor-free.
