Literature registers 18 cases of female urethral leiomyoma. Three new cases of such pathology are herein described, with symptoms generally recorded in the literature : obstruction. The three patients were successfully treated by transvaginal resection of the tumor. Diagnosis and treatment are simple, while follow up and prognosis are good, according to our cases and those previously described.

Article Synopsis
- Leiomyomas are rare, benign tumors of the bladder that account for 1 to 5% of all bladder tumors; while 20% are asymptomatic, many cause issues like urinary dysfunction and hematuria.
- * The case study discusses a 39-year-old woman with severe urinary symptoms and a tumor in her bladder, which was identified through imaging and cystoscopy.
- * Treatment involved a dual approach of Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor (TURBT) and open urethrotomy to fully excise the tumor, which was causing persistent symptoms.

We present a case of acute urinary retention (AUR) with hyper-angulation of the urinary bladder neck secondary to uterine leiomyoma. Our patient is a 45-year-old female who presented with AUR and suprapubic pain requiring catheterization. CT images highlight the level of obstruction secondary to suspension of the urinary bladder rather than direct urethral compression.

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) ablation represents a rapidly advancing non-invasive treatment modality that has achieved considerable success in addressing uterine fibroids, which constitute over 50% of benign gynecological tumors. Preoperative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) plays a pivotal role in the planning and guidance of HIFU surgery for uterine fibroids, wherein the segmentation of tumors holds critical significance. The segmentation process was previously manually executed by medical experts, entailing a time-consuming and labor-intensive procedure heavily reliant on clinical expertise.
