title: [Paraurethral leiomyoma in a female: report of a case].
abstract: A 50-year-old female visited our clinic complaining of tumor formation in the external genitalia. The tumor was elastic hard upon palpation, 3 cm in diameter, and located in the right lateral side of the external urethral meatus. The paraurethral tumor was excised. Histopathological diagnosis was paraurethral leiomyoma. Female paraurethral leiomyoma is a rare benign tumor. There have been only 66 cases reported in the Japanese literature. We summarized these cases and studied their clinical features.
