%X objective: we report a new case of bladder leiomyosarcoma in an old patient. methods: we present the case of a 75-year-old man with bladder leiomyosarcoma treated by partial surgery followed by adjuvant treatment. results: partial surgery of the primary tumor followed by concomitant chemo-radiotherapy was the approach for this patient. nowadays, patient is free of tumor and living without any problems. conclusions: bladder leiomyosarcoma is an uncommon tumor (only about 1 % of all bladder cancers) treated ba-sically with radical surgery. nowadays, partial surgery is a usual approach in other tumors and there is a trend toward less aggressive surgery with preservation of function (such as head and neck cancer, bladder cancer).
