      <Abstract>Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a soft tissue sarcoma that is rarely described in the bladder of an adult patient. We report a case of a bladder rhabdomyosarcoma in a 35-year-old African American male with prior history of benign fibroepithelial polyp removal. Given the unusual presentation of this tumor and the putative etiologic link of malignant transformation from a fibroepithelial polyp, this case report and review of the literature highlight an interesting association that has only once been previously reported. Furthermore, we detail our management of this adult bladder RMS.</Abstract>
