ABSTRACT
This report describes an unusual case of sarcomatoid carcinoma of the bladder in a 3-year-old girl. Although saving the patient's life is most essential, it is also essential to consider quality of life. The patient underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy with gemcitabine and cisplatin for bladder preservation. The tumor considerably decreased in size. After 4 courses of chemotherapy, the patient underwent a partial cystectomy followed by postoperative irradiation with 2 courses of chemotherapy. Seventy months after the operation, she remains alive, showing complete remission with normal bladder function. Chemotherapy resulted in tumor shrinkage and allowed for bladder preservation.
