Abstract:
A 32-year-old female consulted our hospital with the complaint of recurrent urinary tract infections, especially acute pyelonephritis. Cystoscopy revealed a wide-based tumor covered with a normal epithelium at internal meatus and right slight opened orifice, the contraction of which was slightly weak. Excretory urography showed almost normal nephrogram, pyelogram and ureterogram, and voiding cystography revealed right vesicoureteral reflux with grade IIb. Under general anesthesia, tumor resection of the bladder and right ureterovesiconeostomy were carried out. Pathologically the tumor was diagnosed leiomyoma. Right vesicoureteral reflux was speculated to have occurred secondarily to leiomyoma of the urinary bladder.
