Background:
Bladder leiomyomas are benign neoplasms of the bladder. Giant bladder leiomyomas are rare and conventionally treated by partial cystectomy.
Case Presentation:
We present the case of a 51-year-old woman diagnosed with a bladder leiomyoma measuring 8.0 cm in diameter. The tumor was successfully removed through transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT), which was completely recorded on video.
Conclusion:
This case underscores the successful removal of a giant bladder leiomyoma by TURBT, resulting in a good prognosis. It highlights the potential for minimally invasive management strategies for benign neoplasms of the bladder.
Take-Home Information:
This case demonstrates that endoscopic resection of a giant bladder tumor is safe and feasible, offering a minimally invasive alternative for select patients.
Clinical Trial Number:
Not applicable.
