“…We have described the first case of RB-associated bladder leiomyosarcoma that was successfully treated during and after pregnancy. Bladder tumors during pregnancy are very rare, and fewer than 50 cases of bladder tumors unrelated to schistosomiasis (bilharziasis) during pregnancy have been reported to date [ 1 – 3 ]. Although macroscopic hematuria is a major symptom of bladder tumors, it can be overlooked during pregnancy because pregnant women frequently have genitourinary bleeding from the uterus or due to cystitis.…”

“…Cystoscopy, ultrasonography, and urine cytology should therefore be considered for pregnant women with unclarified macroscopic hematuria. Generally, CT is not recommended for pregnant women because it exposes the fetus to radiation [ 3 ]. However, the patient in the present case underwent CT at the 22 nd week of gestation after consulting obstetricians and confirming its clinical validity (i.e., the organogenesis period of the fetus had already ended), and this CT examination provided essential information for subsequent treatments.…”

“…Management of a bladder tumor in a pregnant woman is a rare clinical situation. With the exception of schistosomiasis-related cases, fewer than 50 cases of bladder tumors during pregnancy have been reported in the literature to date [ 1 – 3 ]. Such patients warrant special attention as well as management in cooperation with obstetricians.…”

Background Management of a bladder tumor during pregnancy is an uncommon clinical situation. Leiomyosarcoma of the urinary bladder is a rare histological type of bladder tumor and a rare secondary cancer in survivors of retinoblastoma (RB). However, there has been no report of RB-associated bladder leiomyosarcoma during pregnancy. Case presentation A 37-year-old pregnant woman with a medical history of RB in infancy presented with gross hematuria at the 17th week of gestation. Cystoscopy revealed a 40-mm papillary tumor on the left lateral wall of the urinary bladder. At the 25th week of gestation, she underwent transurethral resection of the bladder tumor, and the pathological diagnosis was bladder leiomyosarcoma with loss of RB1 expression. At the 31st week of gestation, she gave birth by caesarean section. One month after the delivery (to allow for involution of the uterus), she underwent partial cystectomy, and the specimen contained no residual leiomyosarcoma tissue. Conclusions We have reported a case of RB-associated bladder leiomyosarcoma that was successfully treated during and after pregnancy.

Bladder malignancy represents the fourth most common cancer in men and the eighth in women in the western world. Women under 75 years of age have a risk of 0.5–1% of developing bladder cancer. The diagnosis usually occurs between 65 and 70 years of age, whereas the mortality rate for women varies from 0.5 to 4 per 100,000 every year. Nulliparous women present a greater risk than women who have given birth. The risk is further decreased when parity increases. Theoretically, hormonal changes occurring during pregnancy play a protective role. Smoking and occupational exposure to specific chemicals are the most common risk factors of bladder cancer. Other risk factors such as chronic urinary tract inflammation, cyclophosphamide, radiotherapy, and familial correlation have been reported. The aim of this review is to highlight a rare combination, which is the co-existence of bladder malignancy and pregnancy. We present thirteen different cases of women who were diagnosed with malignant bladder tumors during their pregnancy. A review of the literature was conducted, focusing on the unspecific symptoms, possible diagnostic tools, and suitable treatment modalities. The management of bladder cancer in pregnancy is a challenging process. The fragile balance between the possible complications of pregnancy and maternal health is yet to be discussed.

Malignant neoplasms of the urinary system associated with pregnancy are extremely rare and occupy a small part in the overall structure of oncological pathologies in pregnant women and account for less than 1 %, while urinary tract cancer associated with pregnancy proceeds differently. Bladder cancer in general does not have aggressive characteristics, unlike kidney cancer, so its detection and timely treatment is associated with favorable outcomes for both mother and fetus. Kidney cancer, on the contrary, is capable of a lightning-fast course, has a greater ability to metastasize early and can cause death in a short period of time. The article presents clinical observations of patients with various locations of malignant neoplasms of the urinary tract, shows the difficulties of diagnosis, features of the clinical course, treatment and prognosis in this category of patients. It is clearly shown that treatment and obstetric tactics in each individual case should be personalized and involve a large multidisciplinary team of specialists with experience working with this category of patients.
