Abstract

Abstract:

Objective

To assess the ability of transabdominal ultrasound to detect bladder rhabdomyosarcoma in children and to describe its ultrasonographic appearance.

Methods

Totally 40 cases of surgically and pathologically confirmed bladder rhabdomyosarcoma cases in Beijing Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 2006 to December 2017 were retrospectively reviewed and the ultrasonographic characteristics were analyzed.

Results

In 40 patients, the ultrasound made correct diagnosis in 35 cases. In 40 cases, the bladder rhabdomyosarcoma showed intravesical mass. Tumors are commonly located at the vesical trigone and bladder neck, appeared as a botryoid or lobulated, hypoechoic or isoechoic mass.

Conclusions

The diagnosis of bladder rhabdomyosarcoma should be considered in case with a mass at the vesical trigone by ultrasonography, especially for boys with difficulty in urination. Due to the specific ultrasonic manifestations of bladder rhabdomyosarcoma in children, ultrasound examination can be used as the first choice of diagnostic imaging .
