Abstract

Bladder myofibroblastic inflammatory tumors are rare benign proliferative lesions that can simulate both urothelial and connective tissue malign neoplasms, making a preoperative diagnosis nearly impossible. Conservative treatment appears to be curative, even though local recurrences have been reported, and so malignancy should be rouled out above all by means of an accurate follow-up. Two cases are described, 1 of which with the longest follow-up period reported so far (8 years).
