Paraurethral Leiomyoma: A Case Report and Literature Review
Abstract
Paraurethral leiomyoma is a rare benign mass. Its rarity and complex anatomical proximities pose challenges in management. The authors report a case of a 35-year-old woman with a paraurethral leiomyoma that was successfully excised without complications. Histopathological examination is the gold standard for diagnosis; however, imaging can also assist in diagnosis before intervention.
