Abstract:
Bladder leiomyoma is a very rare tumor, and only 0.43% of bladder tumors are of this type. Bladder leiomyoma may cause various symptoms depending on its anatomical location and size. The most common voiding symptoms manifested by leiomyoma are the obstructive symptoms. We report a case of a 42 year old woman who had voiding symptoms for 3 years while visiting the outpatient department of genito-urology due to acute urinary retention. We performed ultrasonography, computed tomography, MRI and transurethral resection, and from these test, the pathologic diagnosis revealed a leiomyoma of bladder.
