Abstract
Leiomyoma is quite rare in the female urethra. We report an additional case
to 29 reported in the literature. A multiparous woman presented with a com
plaint of a gradually enlarging mass causing dyspareunia for the last seven
months. The mass was originating from the upper part of the distal urethra
with a relatively thin stalk covered by squamous epithelia, and immunohist
opathological examination confirmed it as leiomyoma.
