Bladder leiomyoma is a rare benign mesothelial tumor that is more commonly reported in women. Most patients present with frequent urination or obstructive urinary symptoms. Here, we portray a 50-year-old woman who presented to the clinic with abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding. Imaging showed a lobulated mass at the posterior aspect of the urinary bladder. The pathology of the surgery demonstrated a benign mesenchymal neoplasm composed of interlacing bundles of smooth muscle fibers with a whirling pattern, which eventually confirmed bladder leiomyoma. Although this tumor is benign, it can be misdiagnosed with other diseases such as a urothelial lesion or urothelial cell carcinoma of the bladder. Accordingly, it can inevitably affect patient management. Therefore, it must be diagnosed quickly and accurately and appropriate treatment should be applied.
膀胱平滑肌瘤是一种罕见的良性间皮肿瘤,在女性中报道更为常见。大多数患者表现为尿频或梗阻性尿路症状。在此,我们描述一位50岁女性,她因腹痛和阴道出血前来就诊。影像学检查显示膀胱后部有一个分叶状肿块。手术病理显示为良性间叶性肿瘤,由交织成束的平滑肌纤维组成,呈漩涡状排列,最终确诊为膀胱平滑肌瘤。尽管这种肿瘤是良性的,但可能会被误诊为其他疾病,如膀胱尿路上皮病变或尿路上皮细胞癌。因此,它不可避免地会影响患者的治疗管理。所以,必须快速准确地诊断,并采取适当的治疗措施。
