Bladder leiomyoma

Partial Cystectomy Management of Bladder Leiomyoma in a Patient With Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections: A Case Study

Bladder leiomyomas are uncommon benign soft tissue neoplasms of the bladder, frequently observed in women. Diagnosis often happens incidentally during ultrasonography, with symptoms varying based on tumour size and location. Here, we present a case of a 57-year-old woman with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus, successfully treated for bladder leiomyoma through transurethral resection and laparoscopic partial cystectomy. This case highlights the significance of early detection and timely intervention in optimizing patient outcomes for bladder leiomyoma.

Bladder leiomyoma presenting as uterine pedunculated leiomyoma

Bladder leiomyoma is a rare benign mesothelial tumor that is more commonly reported in women. Most patients present with frequent urination or obstructive urinary symptoms. Here, we portray a 50-year-old woman who presented to the clinic with abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding. Imaging showed a lobulated mass at the posterior aspect of the urinary bladder. The pathology of the surgery demonstrated a benign mesenchymal neoplasm composed of interlacing bundles of smooth muscle fibers with a whirling pattern, which eventually confirmed bladder leiomyoma. Although this tumor is benign, it can be misdiagnosed with other diseases such as a urothelial lesion or urothelial cell carcinoma of the bladder. Accordingly, it can inevitably affect patient management. Therefore, it must be diagnosed quickly and accurately and appropriate treatment should be applied.

Rare symptomatic bladder leiomyoma: case report and literature review

Bladder leiomyoma is a rare, benign tumour of the bladder. We present a clinical case of a 47-year-old asymptomatic woman with symptomatic bladder leiomyoma. Computed tomography showed well-defined bladder leiomyoma in the right posterior bladder wall. After partial cystectomy, pathology findings confirmed leiomyoma of bladder, and the patient achieved clinical recovery in 8 months. We discuss the relevant recent literature of bladder leiomyoma.
