Perivascular epithelioid cell neoplasms (PEComas) represent a rare family of neoplasms. Their dichotomous phenotypic features, including both myogenic and melanocytic features can make a definitive diagnosis difficult. So far 15 cases of PEComa urinary bladder have been reported. We describe a case of PEComa bladder for its rarity along with review of literature.
