“…Subsequently, Dehner & Smith [1], in 1970 published a clinicopathologic study of 46 cases of soft tissue tumours of the penis (24 benign, 22 malignant), which included 3 cases of leiomyoma located on the prepuce, frenulum and glans respectively. Following this, other cases were reported by Belis [4], Leoni [5], Stehr [6], Bartoletti [2], and Liu [7], almost all occurring on or near the glans and corona glandis; these cases account for 9 reported cases in the medical literature so far [1][2][3][4][5][6][7].…”

“…These lesions tend to be small (1.0 cm diameter), rubbery in consistency with light yellow to white cut surfaces [5]. Careful pathological analyses to identify pleomorphic, hyperchromatic and mitotic characteristics of malignancy, together with immunohistochemical techniques to provide evidence of actin or vimentin molecules within the tumor cells, are of value in differentiating leiomyoma from leiomyosarcoma [2,4]. A characteristic feature of leiomyoma is that it progressively increases in size and may become large enough to complicate surgical removal.…”

AbstractPrimary soft tissue tumours of the penis, such as leiomyomas, are very rare. Most present as small and painless but gradually increasing swellings on the penis. To the best of our knowledge, only 9 cases have been reported in the literature so far. This rare pathologic finding, which usually mimics a malignant lesion, should be included in the differential diagnosis of penile neoplasm. Surgical excision of the lesion provides both the histological diagnosis and an effective therapy. We report a case of a large leiomyoma on the shaft of the penis measuring 8x5 cm, which possibly represents the largest reported leiomyoma of the penis in English literature till date.

Ancak son yıllarda ultrasonografi ve bilgisayarlı tomografi nin yaygın kullanımıyla bu tümörlerin rastlantısal tanısı artmıştır.…”

“…The most frequent sites for these lesions are the gastrointestinal tract and the genitourinary system. Locations of leiomyoma in the genitourinary tract have been documented in the uterus, renal pelvis, ureter, bladder wall, and urethra in women [1]. However, leiomyomas arising from the female urethra, especially paraurethral, are exceedingly rare [2].…”

Leiomyoma is a benign mass of smooth muscle cells that most frequently occurs in the gastrointestinal and genitourinary system. However, leiomyomas arising from the female urethra, especially paraurethral, are exceedingly rare. We present a case of a true paraurethral leiomyoma. The initial presenting complaints were dyspareunia, increased urinary frequency, and a 1.8 cm lesion in the anterolateral wall of the vagina that was suspicions of a Gartner's duct cyst. However, the patient was lost to followup for 5 years. On return, the patient continued to complain of dyspareunia, urinary frequency, suprapubic pain, and dysuria. The patient was treated for multiple instances of urinary tract infections (UTIs) without symptomatic improvement. A pelvic MRI demonstrated a 3.8 x 4.1 x 4.7 cm mass within the left anterior aspect of the lower cervix/vagina. Cystoscopy was notable for an unremarkable urethra with an anterior vaginal wall mass extrinsically pushing the bladder trigone without penetration into the bladder mucosa or communication with the ureter or vagina. A biopsy from the paraurethral mass revealed well-delineated cells with low mitotic figures encompassed in a fibrous capsule non-adherent to adjacent structures. The mass was subsequently excised through the anterior vaginal wall with no complications and complete resolution of symptoms.
