Abstract

Leiomyoma is a benign tumor of smooth muscle cells. It appears to occur mainly in genitourinary and gastrointestinal site but urethra is a rare site. Thorough imaging and cystourethroscopy were done to identify the correct anatomical location of the tumor. We present the case of urethral leiomyoma during pregnancy presented with tender vaginal mass causing obstructive urinary symptoms. Surgical excision through vaginal route was done without breaching the urethral mucosa and muscle. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry were performed to confirm the diagnosis. No postoperative complications were noted.
