Paraurethral Leiomyoma

Abstract

Paraurethral leiomyomas are rare benign genitourinary tumors arising from the smooth muscle of urethra. These are more common in women in fourth decade. Patients’ symptoms are generally dysuria, urinary tract infection, dyspareunia, palpable mass at vagina, and urinary retention. In symptomatic cases, surgical excision is usually sufficient for treatment. In this case, we reported who admitted in our clinic because of dysuria, dyspareunia and a palpable mass at the anterior surface of the vagina. This mass was removed surgically and, pathologic evaluation of the mass reported epithelioid leiomyoma.
