A RARE CASE OF URINARY BLADDER LEIOMYOMA AND ITS MANAGEMENT

Abstract

Bladder leiomyoma is a rare, benign tumor of the urinary bladder. Though uncommon, it is the most prevalent type of benign mesenchymal tumor found in the bladder. Diagnosis often involves a combination of imaging techniques, with definitive confirmation through histopathology. Treatment is primarily surgical, with the approach depending on the tumor's size and location. We present the case of a 40-year-old female with a bladder leiomyoma who was successfully treated with open transvesical enucleation after initial Transurethral resection.
