title: Leiomyoma of the female urethra: a case report.
abstract: A case of leiomyoma of the female urethra arising from the anterior lip of the external urinary meatus is presented. The tumor was missed originally and, subsequently, increased in size. Although the neoplasm was suspected clinically, it was confirmed only by histopathology. The tumor was responsible for recurrent urinary tract infection, which ceased after the neoplasm was excised.
