Case Report: Successful resection of a bladder leiomyoma causing lower urinary tract symptoms
Abstract
Benign mesenchymal tumors known as leiomyomas are commonly found in the uterus and may also be present in any smooth muscle organ (1). Bladder leiomyomas are rare and mimic malignant lesions on radiological studies hence, surgical excision and histopathological examination are necessary for identification. In this case study, we will be presenting a 45 year old female patient who frequently presents to our clinic with dysuria symptoms who was treated with open bladder excision.
