Abstract
Leiomyomas of the bladder are rarely observed and usually coincidentally diagnosed benign mesenchymal tumors. Although they are asymptomatic in majority, symptoms may be observed depending on the localization and size. Endoscopic resection and partial cystectomy are the surgical treatment alternatives. In our clinic, a 26-year old male patient coincidentally diagnosed with bladder tumor underwent endoscopic resection. Histopathological diagnosis was reported as leiomyoma. When the cross sectional imaging in the second postoperative month revealed a residual mass in the bladder, partial cystectomy was performed. Since, endoscopic treatments can sometimes fall short, patients should be followed up and, when suitable, partial cystectomy should be considered as an alternative treatment method.
