The term sarcoma botryoides is to be preferred to pathologic debate as to the predominant cell type. Keeping" grape-like" in mind, one will diagnose the tumor more frequently and earlier. With an understanding of its behavior, the prognosis will be improved. McFarland found 119 terms applied to sarcomatous tumors of the urogenital area in 516 references. They are all dysontogenetic tumors, arising from mesodermal cells lost in the embryologic shuffle of the genitourinary deck and the lost cells become wild cards (Cohnheim's theory). Those that manifest their wild potential at an early age are rapidly growing, loose myxomatous tumors of marked malignancy. If expansion room is present, they tend to become botryoid. The cell type is frequently rhabdomyosarcoma but in many, the diagnostic large eosinophilic cells and bands are not found or are not present. However, the tumor is, I believe, fundamentally the same. This includes the sarcoma botryoides of the vagina of little girls and the sarcoma of the prostate in the small boy.The sarcomas are probably of wolffian duct origin and in the bladder, arise in the submucosa of the region of the trigone and internal meatus. They grow rapidly forming pearly, polypoid, semi-translucent masses but tend to remain confined to the bladder, posterior urethra, and ureters without infiltration in depth until late. Distant metastases (regional lymph nodes, liver, lungs) occur late. Obstruction occurs early and renal function suffers. Once the tumor escapes the viscus by surgery or penetration, rapid and massive extension or recurrence is the rule. Based on this behavior, the potential prognosis is good. However, the margin of tumor cannot be determined grossly and only cystectomy has resulted in cure of this lesion. Feggetter reported
