Bladder leiomyoma is a rare benign tumor and it could be easily misdiagnosed with many other pelvic diseases, especially obstetrical and gynecological diseases; abdominal, laparoscopic, and transurethral resection of bladder leiomyoma have been reported. Herein, we present a case of bladder leiomyoma misdiagnosed with a vaginal mass preoperatively; the mass was isolated, enucleated from the bladder neck, and removed transvaginally; to the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of intramural leiomyoma of bladder neck that has been enucleated transvaginally only without cystotomy.

Case report: Bladder leiomyoma presenting as dysuria.

Leiomyoma of the bladder is an unusual cause of benign smooth muscle tumor, only reported about 250 times in the literature. Imaging studies including computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans are useful in defining the extent and location of the tumor, however, immunohistology samples must be obtained to rule out similar appearing cancerous masses. In this article, we report the case of a 50-year-old male diagnosed with leiomyoma of the bladder that initially presented as dysuria and raised suspicion of a bladder transitional cell carcinoma (TCC).

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the safety and effectiveness of various doses of mifepristone (2.5 mg to 50 mg) in treating uterine fibroids through a systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
- A meta-analysis of 18 studies involving 2,066 patients indicated that mifepristone significantly reduced uterine and fibroid volumes and improved symptoms like pelvic pain and urinary issues compared to a control group.
- While mifepristone showed benefits, it also caused some side effects such as increased endometrial thickness and hot flashes, with the 5 mg/day dose for three months being identified as the potentially best regimen for treatment.

Article Synopsis
- Prostate leiomyoma is a rare benign tumor that is often diagnosed post-surgery, with management primarily involving transurethral resection due to lack of established guidelines.
- A patient presented with urinary issues and was found to have prostate leiomyoma after imaging and prior related medical history, leading to a successful holmium laser enucleation procedure.
- Post-surgery, the patient showed no recurrence and is under regular monitoring, emphasizing the importance of patient follow-up and timely intervention for this rare condition.
