Summary

Bladder leiomyoma, a rare tumor, can cause hematuria. A novel surgical approach combining transurethral mucosal incision and transperitoneoscopic partial cystectomy successfully treated a patient with persistent symptoms.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Bladder leiomyomas are rare mesenchymal tumors originating from the bladder's smooth muscle.
  • Gross hematuria and urinary frequency are potential clinical manifestations.

Observation:

  • A 47-year-old woman presented with a 6-month history of gross hematuria and urinary frequency.
  • Initial transurethral resection of a bladder dome tumor, diagnosed as leiomyoma, failed to resolve symptoms.

Findings:

  • A subsequent procedure involving transurethral mucosal incision and transperitoneoscopic partial cystectomy was performed.
  • This combined surgical approach successfully treated the patient's persistent bladder leiomyoma symptoms.

Implications:

Related Experiment Videos

  • This case highlights the potential challenges in managing bladder leiomyomas, even after initial resection.
  • The described combined surgical technique offers a viable option for refractory cases.
  • Further research into optimal surgical strategies for bladder leiomyomas is warranted.
