Description
Summary:Bladder leiomyoma is a rare tumor, its frequency being estimated below 1%. We report the case of a 17-year-old mole patient presenting with hematuria and lower urinary tract irritative symptoms whose work up discovered two small bladder tumors. After TUR of the lesions the diagnosis of bladder leiomyoma was established; no recurrences have appeared on follow-up. Bladder leiomyoma is a benign tumor, therefore surgery should be the most conservative. Bibliographic review of the Spanish urologic journals shows that this is the youngest patient reported to date.
