title: [Urethral myomas: report of two cases and literature review].
abstract: Leiomyomas of the bladder and urethra are extremely rare. Depending on their location and size, they can produce diverse clinical manifestations. At urethral level in particular, formed near the vaginal wall, symptoms include recurrent urinary tract infections, voiding dysfunction, foreign body sensation, heaviness and dyspareunia. We present two cases of urethral leiomyomas, one expressed during pregnancy, which resolved successfully with surgical resection without damage to the urinary tract and no recurrence so far.
