title: [Bladder leiomyoma. Review and report of a case].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The present study reviews bladder leiomyoma, an uncommon pathology. The problems of differential diagnosis and the therapeutic options are discussed and the literature reviewed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A 33-year-old female with anterolateral intramural leiomyoma of the bladder is described. Patient evaluation included US, cystography, CT, cystoscopy and ultrasound-guided suprapubic puncture.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Leiomyoma is an uncommon benign tumor of the bladder. To our knowledge, only 235 cases have been reported in the literature. We advocate the use of ultrasound-guided suprapubic puncture, a simple procedure that is frequently diagnostic, in the evaluation of this tumor type.
