Abstract:
Leiomyoma of the urinary bladder is not often encountered, occurring in only 0.43% of all bladder tumors. Among the known cases, patients usually present with obstructive symptoms, irritative symptoms or hematuria. This is a rare case of a 50-year-old male who was incidentally diagnosed to have a bladder mass. After cystoscopy, an open partial cystectomy was done with complete resection of the bladder mass. Final histopathology and immunochemical stains confirmed the diagnosis of leiomyoma of the urinary bladder.
