Summary

A rare paraurethral leiomyoma, a benign hormone-dependent tumor, was diagnosed in a woman presenting with a palpable mass. Estrogen and progesterone receptor positivity suggests hormonal therapies like GnRH agonists as potential treatments.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Gynecology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Paraurethral leiomyomas are rare, benign, hormone-dependent tumors originating from mesenchymal tissue.
  • These tumors are often associated with estrogen and progesterone receptor expression.

Observation:

  • A 43-year-old woman presented with a palpable mass near the urethral opening without urinary symptoms.
  • Surgical excision was performed, and histopathology confirmed a paraurethral leiomyoma.

Findings:

  • Immunohistochemical studies confirmed the diagnosis of paraurethral leiomyoma.
  • The tumor exhibited positive estrogen and progesterone receptor expression.

Implications:

  • Hormonal receptor status suggests potential for conservative management in inoperable cases.
