[Leiomyoma of the female urethra].
Leiomyoma of the female urethra is a benign mesenchymal tumour highly infrequent in the clinical practice. There is controversy as to its degree of oestrogen hormone dependency and its diagnosis is reached only after pathohistological study of the resection specimen. This type of tumour has excellent prognosis, with few tumoral relapses and no case of malignant transformation having been reported for the time being. Contribution of one case report of leiomyoma of the female urethra with typical clinical-epidemiological features but very uncommon from a topographic insight, as it was located in the anterior side of the distal urethra.
