Dr. Batchu Savitri, Dr. Priyanka Raj, Dr.Aparna Nair

Abstract: Extrauterine leiomyomas are benign mesenchymal tumors that develop from smooth muscle cells, typically occurring in the uterus and only rarely found in the urethra. These tumors usually emerge during a woman's reproductive years. This report discusses the diagnosis and management of a leiomyoma located in an uncommon site. We present the clinical case of a female patient aged 37 years diagnosed with urethral leiomyoma with complaints of swelling in the genital region and irregular cycles. The patient underwent excision with further histologic examination revealing urethral leiomyoma. Diagnosis and management of this common growth situated at a rare location were reviewed and discussed.
