Bladder leiomyomatosis: A case report

Abstract

Introduction: Bladder leiomyoma, commonly found in middle-aged females, is a rare, benign, and mesenchymal tumor of the bladder. Its incidence rate is lower than 0.5 of all types of bladder tumors. There are fewer than 250 reports on bladder leiomyoma. Herein, we report a case of bladder leiomyoma in 37 years’ female. Case Presentation: A 37-year-old multiparous woman has been presented with complaints of occa-sional hematuria and dysuria and irritative symptoms. In the examination and imaging, a mass with a size of 8 cm was reported in the anterior border of the uterus with a firm consistency. Surgery was performed, and the mass was resected. Postoperative histopathology review confirmed bladder leiomyoma. Conclusion: Leiomyoma should be considered as a differential diagnosis in women presenting with dysuria, frequency or hematuria and a firm consistency mass even in the unusual site as the bladder. Complete resection leads to a very good outcome with almost no recurrence. © 2021 Bentham Science Publishers.
