“…4,7 The pattern of enhancement after contrast administration is variable, with some showing homogeneous enhancement and others showing little enhancement. 4,8 There have been no cases of malignant transformation of a leiomyoma. If imaging and biopsy indicate a high probability of leiomyoma, the patient is safe to be monitored.…”

“…1 Leiomyomas have been found endovesically, extravesically, and intramurally. 4 Most are found incidentally on pelvic ultrasonography, but symptomatic lesions that reaching 3500 g have been described. 5 Although most leimyomas are asymptomatic, enlarging masses or those that obstruct the vesical outlet may cause pain or obstructive urinary symptoms.…”

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.
