    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To describe an additional case of rapidly growing leiomyoma of the bladder in a pregnant woman. METHODS: A case of leiomyoma of the bladder in a woman at 8 months of pregnancy is presented. Transurethral resection was performed, but the tumor recurred a few weeks later. The tumor was resected by partial cystectomy after delivery. CONCLUSIONS: Leiomyoma of the bladder is an uncommon benign lesion that is successfully managed by surgical resection. The rapid recurrence of the tumor in our patient can be ascribed to the hormonal changes during pregnancy.
