A 3‐year‐old boy presented with persistent abdominal pain, hematuria and facial pallor with progressive anemia. A computed tomography scan showed a massive intraperitoneal hemorrhage and tumor mass in the bladder. Histological examinations of the resected tumor revealed findings of pseudosarcomatous myofibroblastic tumor (PMT). The clinico‐pathological features of this case warn us that PMT can cause acute abdomen syndrome with massive intraperitoneal hemorrhage.
