# Adult embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (botryoid subtype) of the ureter: A case report

## TL;DR

A rare case of adult embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma in the ureter is reported, with successful treatment and remission.

## Contribution

This case report adds to the limited literature on ureteral embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma and its management.

## Key findings

- The patient achieved remission after surgical resection and chemotherapy.
- Long-term surveillance is emphasized for monitoring recurrence and complications.

## Abstract

Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma arising from the ureter is exceedingly rare. We report the case of a 20-year-old female who presented with flank pain and hematuria, initially attributed to ureteral stones. Subsequent evaluation revealed an embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (botryoid subtype) of the ureter. Following surgical resection and chemotherapy, the patient achieved remission and experienced minor complications including neuropathy and bladder irritation. This case highlights the classification and management of ureteral rhabdomyosarcoma. While the prognosis for ureteral rhabdomyosarcoma appears favorable based on limited literature, long-term surveillance is crucial for monitoring recurrence and managing potential complications.
