Leiomyoma of the bladder presenting with an ovarian new growth: A case report and review of literature

ABSTRACT

@#Benign mesenchymal tumors of the urinary bladder are extremely rare. This is a case of a 56- year old female presenting with an enlarging abdomen initially managed as a case of an ovarian new growth. Aside from the ruptured ovarian mass, a urinary bladder mass was also noted intraoperatively and a surgical dilemma was resolved by imaging review. The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy, enterolysis, total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingooophorectomy, and partial cystectomy. Final histopathology identified the bladder tumor to be a leiomyoma. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course. Awareness of this clinical entity and presentation will aid in diagnosis and management.
