Abstract |
Leiomyoma of the female urethra
is a rare condition. We report one case of leiomyoma of the female urethra causing frequency; nocturia and dysuria. The differential diagnosis is caruncle; carcinoma; epithelial polyps or urethral prolapse. Transperineal ultrasonography reveals a 1.43 x 1.29 mm; well defined; round heterogeneous hypoechoic mass in the distal urethra. Color Doppler ultrasonography shows multifocal color signals in the peripheral and central portion of the mass. Histopathological examination confirmed urethral leiomyoma. |
