We present a unique case of bladder leiomyoma that was mistakenly diagnosed as a ureterocele. The delay in diagnosis meant ongoing significant voiding lower urinary tract symptoms, which could have been avoided. This was eventually successfully treated by transurethral resection. Leiomyoma is the most common benign bladder mass and should be considered in the differential diagnosis when a smooth mass with normal overlying mucosa is seen on cystoscopy or a homogeneous, low density bladder mass is seen on cross-sectional imaging. Despite the benign nature of the lesion, leiomyoma can convey significant morbidity to the patient.

Introduction And Importance: Female urethral leiomyoma is a rare benign tumor that originates from the smooth muscle cells in the urethra's wall. Surgical resection is often the primary treatment option. However, the tumor's location and size can present challenges for complete removal while preserving urethral function.

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).

Background: Although blood urine is frequently observed in dromedary camels, little attention is gained and only it was reported as case reports.
Aim: This study was carried out to examine dromedary camels suffering from red urine syndrome from the points of clinical, etiological, hematobiochemical, ultrasonographic, and pathological characteristics.
Methods: Thirty-one camels with red urine and fifteen controls were enrolled.

Introduction: Bladder leiomyomas (LM) are uncommon, non-cancerous growths that originate from the smooth muscle cells of the bladder and constitute 0.5% of bladder tumor cases. This review aims to compile existing data and present a summary of bladder leiomyomas' characteristics, management, and related outcomes.

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.
