title: Bladder perivascular epithelioid cell tumours.
abstract: Perivascular epithelioid cell tumours, better known as PECOMAs, are a very uncommon pathological finding. In English medical literature it has rarely been reported. In the genitourinary system, mostly urinary bladder, the incidence is as low as 10 cases described since 2003 until now. In this case report, we present a urinary bladder PECOMA with a detailed pathological description and a review of literature.
