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.

A case of urethral leiomyoma is presented. The patient was a 48-year-old female who was hospitalized with a 4-year history of a progressively enlarging urethral mass. Based on clinical diagnosis of benign urethral tumor, local excision was performed. Histological diagnosis was urethral leiomyoma and the tumor cells demonstrated immunoreactivity for estrogen receptors. We report our experience of a leiomyoma of the urethra expressing estrogen receptors.

SamenvattingIn dit case report wordt de acute presentatie van een leiomyoom van de blaas bij een 62-jarige vrouw besproken. De patiënte presenteert zich op de Spoedeisende Hulp (SEH) met hevige pijn in de rechterflank en prolapsgevoel. Zij had de blaastumor via de urethra naar buiten geperst, waardoor het rechterostium naar beneden was getrokken. Na chirurgische resectie van de tumor verdwenen de pijnklachten. Trefwoorden leiomyoom · goedaardige blaastumor Case report. Prolapsing leiomyoma of the bladder AbstractIn this case report, the uncommon acute presentation of a leiomyoma of the bladder in a 62-year old female is discussed. The patient presented with severe pain and prolapse into the urethra. She had pushed the tumour outwards, resulting in a downward motion of the right ureteral orifice. The tumour is successfully resected, with immediate pain relief.
