title: Paraurethral leiomyoma.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe a case of para-urethral leiomyoma and to review the literature.
  
  
  METHODS
  The usual preoperative diagnostic procedures and clinical manifestations are discussed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The mass was resected and, 6 years later, the patient remains asymptomatic and with no recurrence.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Urethral or paraurethral leiomyomas are benign tumors that arise from the urethral or vaginal smooth muscle. Radiological findings (particularly magnetic resonance imaging) may suggest the origin of the tumor before surgery; however, the final diagnosis is determined by histology.
