“…2 Leiomyomas tend to be found incidentally, and most are asymptomatic, although symptoms depend on the size and location of the lesion. 3 The treatment of choice for symptomatic lesions is resection or enucleation of the leiomyoma from the bladder wall. Transvaginal excision, endoscopic transurethral resection, and laparoscopic enucleation have all been used successfully for bladder wall leiomyoma removal.…”

Leiomyoma is the most frequent nonepithelial benign tumor of the bladder, and only about 170 cases have been reported in the literature. Most bladder wall leiomyomas are found incidentally and can be clinically followed if imaging and biopsy findings are consistent with the diagnosis. Resection is usually performed for symptomatic or enlarging masses and is indicated if the diagnosis is in question. We demonstrate imaging characteristics, port placement, operative technique, and surgical pathologic findings of the first reported case of robot-assisted laparoscopic resection of a bladder wall leiomyoma.

[2,3,4] Common presentation of urethral leiomyoma include urinary tract infection (64.3%), mass (50%), and dyspareunia, but presenting with urinary obstruction is rare.

“…Urethral leiomyoma is a misleading term used to describe rare benign mesenchymal tumors that originate from the smooth muscle surrounding the female urethra [1][2][3]. This kind of tumor was first described by Buttner in 1894 [4] is are mostly observed in women and girls, even though no age or gender is exempt [5,6].…”

A well-defined protocol for diagnosing and managing a paraurethral mass had not been established as yet due the rarity of the mass. We suggest performing pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a primary examination, followed by lesion biopsy. Complete surgical resection performed transvaginally should be the treatment of choice. As paraurethral leiomyomas does not originate from intraurethral smooth-muscle component, urethral lesion is rare. Excision of female urethral leiomyoma transvaginally is safe, and postoperative urinary incontinence, if any, can be easily corrected with minimally invasive tecniques.
