“…Usually US is the initial imaging modality of choice [3]; on color Doppler flow imaging, blood vessel of leiomyoma can be depicted [7]. In our case, the irregular shaped heterogenous hypo echoic mass with cauliflower like hyper echoic surface and evident posterior acoustic attenuation together with the abundant blood vessels and higher RI made the lesion mimic a bladder cancer.…”

“…It may occur at different ages [3][4][5], can be asymptomatic, or can present in a varied manner, depending on the location of the tumor, with obstructive symptoms, irritating symptoms, hematuria, pelvic mass, and pelvic and flank pain [3][4][5][6][7][8]. Leiomyomas arise in the submucosa, but the growth may be submucosal (7%), intravesical (63%), or extravesical (30%) [5].…”

“…It exhibits characteristics similar to those of uterine myomas on US, CT and MRI [3][4][5][6][7][8]. US, CT, MRI, and cystoscopy are valuable diagnostic tools that can depict the morphology and anatomic location of leiomyomas [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11].…”

Atypical bladder leiomyoma is a rare bladder tumor that is difficult to be correctly identified by imaging techniques or cystoscopy. We present the imaging characteristics of an atypical bladder leiomyoma and review the relative literature, with the aim of enhancing awareness of the differential diagnosis of bladder leiomyoma, to avoid and reduce misdiagnosis. The imaging characteristics of the atypical leiomyoma were the cauliflower shaped, abundant vascularity, and calcification foci on the surface of the tumor. The patient was misdiagnosed with bladder cancer after an imaging study. The histopathological study established the definitive diagnosis.

“…Three-dimensional transvaginal sonographic findings of a urinary bladder leiomyoma in a patient (who had previously undergone total abdominal hysterectomy) were reported recently. 13 In that case, a similarly sized, heterogeneously appearing, vascularized tumor was clearly depicted bulging into the urinary bladder. 13 Conversely, in our case, although a urinary bladder leiomyoma was considered in the differential diagnosis, sonography (Figures 1-5) depicted an isolated tumor that appeared to originate in the anterior vaginal wall, separate from the urinary bladder.…”

The authors present a case of a 42-year-old lady who visited her gynaecologist with dysuria and a sensation of incomplete voiding for 2 weeks. Urine culture grew Escherichia coli and blood studies were normal. Pelvic ultrasound revealed a smooth well-defined mass arising from the bladder wall. She was referred to the urologist who requested CT and MRI for further evaluation. These modalities confirmed an intramural bladder mass with normal overlying mucosa. The mass was deemed contributory to her symptoms and a decision was made to excise the mass surgically. Via a transurethral approach, cystoscopy revealed a smooth well-circumscribed intramural mass. This was partially excised. The mass was found to be a leiomyoma. Except for an uncomplicated urinary tract infection, her postoperative course has been uneventful.
