    Abstract:
    Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common soft tissue sarcoma, representing 10-15% of all malignant solid tumours in children and can occur in any site. The prognosis for rhabdomyosarcoma of the prostate has improved significantly in the last few decades. The management involves a combination of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery. Several approaches to resect the prostate in adults have been described. These include radical retropubic, transperineal, posterior sagittal as well as the transpubic approach. In the child, the transpubic approach allows direct access to the prostate and proximal urethra whilst obviating problems noted in adults. We describe this approach to the prostate in a 3-year-old boy.
