Bladder Leiomyoma - An Unusual Cause of Acute Urinary Retention

چکیده
Bladder leiomyomas are benign mesenchymal neoplasms and very rare urinary tumours that represent <0.5% of all bladder tumours, with only 250 cases reported worldwide to date [1,2]. Patients with bladder leiomyomas can be asymptomatic, but the majority present with obstructive symptoms (49%), irritative symptoms (38%) and hematuria (11%) [3,4]. The importance of recognizing their characteristic features, leading to their correct treatment, is fundamental.
