REPORT A CASE OF BLADDER LEIOMYOMA UNDERWENT ENDOSCOPIC TRANSURETHRAL SURGERY
Main Article Content
Abstract
Bladder leiomyomas is a rare disease that represent less than 0.5% of all bladder tumors. Patients with bladder leiomyomas can be asymptomatic, but the majority present with obstructive symptoms, irritative symptoms, haematuria… As the endovesical is the most common location, TURBT is the mainstay of therapy for small endovesical bladder leiomyoma. If the tumour is large and intramural or extravesical, a segmental resection and partial cystectomy should be considered. Surgical treatment, when the excision is wide enough, is almost always very effective, leaving a very low recurrence rate, and with no symptoms, confirming the benign nature of bladder leiomyomas and their excellent prognosis. To discuss more about the clinical symptoms as well as the diagnosis, treatment of bladder leiomyoma, we present a clinical case of bladder leiomyoma that was accidentally discovered during periodically health examination.
