Summary
Female urethral leiomyoma is rare, with only 18 cases documented. This study presents three new cases, all successfully treated with transvaginal resection, highlighting a simple and effective approach.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Gynecology
- Pathology
Background:
- Leiomyomas are benign smooth muscle tumors.
- Female urethral leiomyomas are exceptionally rare, with limited documented cases.
- Urethral obstruction is a potential symptom.
Observation:
- Three new cases of female urethral leiomyoma are presented.
- Patients experienced symptoms consistent with urethral obstruction.
- All three tumors were successfully treated via transvaginal resection.
Findings:
- Transvaginal resection is a simple and effective treatment for female urethral leiomyoma.
- Diagnosis of urethral leiomyoma is straightforward.
- Post-treatment follow-up and prognosis are favorable.
Implications:
- This study expands the understanding of female urethral leiomyoma incidence and management.
- Transvaginal resection offers a minimally invasive surgical option.
- Early diagnosis and treatment lead to positive patient outcomes.
