    Abstract:
    The patient was a 2-year-old boy, who was brought to our clinic with the chief symptom of urinary retention. We suspected retrovesical tumor by digital examination, intravenous pyelography and retrograde cystography. Surgery was performed and the bladder and prostate including the tumor were removed. Ureterocutaneostomy was constructed on both sides. The pathohistological diagnosis was rhabdomyosarcoma (embryonal type). Thereafter, chemotherapy and irradiation were applied, but the patient died of cachexia which was clinically caused by a local recurrence, fourteen months after the operation. Forty-six cases of retrovesical sarcoma were collected from the recent Japanese literature, and reviewed.
