title: Characteristics of bladder leiomyoma as noted on magnetic resonance imaging.
abstract: Leiomyoma of the bladder is a rare benign mesenchymal tumor that can be evaluated preoperatively with magnetic resonance imaging. Small tumors that appear to be leiomyomas on magnetic resonance imaging can be treated conservatively with transurethral resection.
