title: Intramural leiomyoma of the bladder.
abstract: Mesodermal tumors of the urinary bladder are rare and the majority of them are malignant. We report a case of an intramural leiomyoma of the bladder presenting with symptoms of a mild lower urinary tract infection. The patient was managed with partial cystectomy and the outcome was excellent.
