title: Bladder leiomyoma: a case report.
abstract: A case of bladder leiomyoma is reported. A female patient of 35 years old presented with lower abdominal pain, urinary symptoms and episodes of haematuria. USG and CT scan showed a large homogeneous globular mass arising from posterior wall of the urinary bladder occupying a considerable portion of its cavity. Cystoscopy and transurethral resection biopsy confirmed that protruding mass from the bladder wall was leiomyoma. Surgery is the definitive treatment for this rare bladder tumour. Here the tumour was managed successfully by transvesical enucleation.
