RÉSUMÉ
Le rhabdomyosarcome de la vessie (RMS) est la tumeur maligne la plus fréquente chez l’enfant. Elle est extrêmement rare. Les signes de découverte sont dominés par les signes urinaires (dysurie, hématurie et infection urinaire à répétition) et/ou devant toute masse intravésicale de l’enfant à l’imagerie médicale. Le diagnostic de certitude repose sur un examen histologique minutieux. La prise en charge de ces tumeurs a connu des progrès considérables grâce à une meilleure stadification des malades et à une collaboration multidisciplinaire associant radiologue, chirurgien pédiatre, anatomopathologiste, chimiothérapeute et radiothérapeute. L’objectif de cette observation était de rapporter notre cas de RMS chez l’enfant, tout en insistant sur les aspects diagnostiques et thérapeutiques de cette pathologie.
ABSTRACT
Bladder rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common malignant tumor in children, although it remains extremely rare. The initial presentation is primarily characterized by urinary symptoms (dysuria, hematuria, and recurrent urinary tract infections) and/or the presence of any intravesical mass identified through medical imaging in children. Definitive diagnosis relies on meticulous histological examination. The management of these tumors has significantly improved due to enhanced staging of patients and multidisciplinary collaboration involving radiologists, pediatric surgeons, pathologists, chemotherapists, and radiotherapists. The objective of this case report was to present our case of RMS in a child, emphasizing the diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of this condition.
