Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Leiomyomas are rare bladder tumors, often found incidentally.
  • This study reviews clinical aspects, diagnostic tests, and treatment of bladder leiomyoma.

Observation:

  • A case of bladder leiomyoma was identified in a patient during a full-term pregnancy.
  • Physical examination revealed a vaginal tumor; further imaging and endoscopic studies were conducted.

Findings:

  • Transurethral resection (TUR) biopsy confirmed the bladder tumor as a leiomyoma.
  • Ultrasound and radiological findings suggested the lesion's nature, but pathology provided definitive diagnosis.

Implications:

  • Imaging can raise suspicion for bladder leiomyoma, but histopathology is crucial for diagnosis.
