A Case of Leiomyoma of the Bladder with Voiding Dysfunction / 대한비뇨기과학회지

ABSTRACT

Most of bladder tumors are transitional cell type and leiomyoma of the urinary bladder is a rare, benign mesothelial tumor. The clinical importance of leiomyomas is usually slight, but patients have shown symptoms that reflect the tumor's size and location within the bladder. Herein, we present a case of leiomyoma of the bladder in a 62-year-old woman. IVP, ultrasonography and CT suggested bladder mass and cystoscopic finding demonstrated intraluminal protruding mass near bladder neck with intact mucosa. The tumor was removed bytransurethral resection and diagnosis was confirmed by histologic examination.
