Objective:
Primary mesothelial tumors of the bladder are rare entities, being leiomyoma the most frequent of them. It may grow without any clinical symptoms or with very unspecific ones.
Methods:
We report two cases of bladder leiomyoma in 2 patients, and performed a bibliographic review.
Results:
They were treated by transurethral resection, with an excellent outcome, without incidences over five years of follow-up.
Conclusions:
Surgical treatment continues to be the best solution; it is easy to perform and has a very limited number of complications. Prognosis is good in any case and progression is anecdotic.
