Key result
Radical cystectomy with ileal diversion manages a rare DSRCT mimicking bladder cancer in a 14-month-old boy.
Why the study?
Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) mimicking muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) in pediatric patients presents diagnostic challenges and unclear surgical management strategies.
Highlights diagnostic challenges and surgical management in pediatric bladder-involved DSRCT.
We report an aggressive rare case of desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) mimicking muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) in a 14-month-old boy. The patient underwent radical cystectomy with ileal diversion after multidisciplinary assessment. Histopathology confirmed DSRCT. This case highlights diagnostic challenges and the role of surgical management in pediatric bladder-involved DSRCT.
