Vaginal Approach to Excise a Rare Paraurethral Leiomyoma

چکیده
Leiomyomas are benign tumors of smooth muscle origin occurring throughout the genitourinary system. While leiomyomas in the uterus are frequently seen, urethral and paraurethral leiomyomas are extremely rare with a hand full of cases in the literature. Typically, periurethral leiomyomas can present with a mass protruding from the urethra originating from the proximal and posterior portion of the urethra. Herein, we present a new case of a paraurethral leiomyoma causing mass effect on the bladder leading to lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) with no gross involvement of the urethra.
