Abstract
Introduction: Leiomyosarcoma of the urinary bladder is a rare cancer in uro logy with unknown etiology. Case Reports: We report the medical history, therapy and follow-up of two a dditional patients with a leiomyosarcoma of the urinary bladder. Conclusions: Treatment options are discussed taking into account our own ex perience as well as a review of the literature. If a localized tumor is dia gnosed early, radical cystectomy is indicated in adults. Adjuvant therapy p rotocols based on GTNM-staging and grading have been employed with varying success.
